Red Mountain
About
Red Mountain is a summit in California, about 3 miles from the town of Kenwood. Late spring and mid-fall tend to be the most comfortable times to visit. A nearby weather station records typical average highs of about 73°F in May and 72°F in October, with only around four wet days in each month. That station sits roughly 820 feet below the summit, so temperatures on top usually run a bit cooler. The Red Mountain Trail starts just 0.2 miles away, and the Headwaters Trail is about half a mile off. Within 0.8 miles you'll also find the Bald Mountain Trail and the climbing at Sugarloaf Ridge.
