Redgarden - Lumpe to the top is a climbing area in Eldorado Canyon State Park in Colorado, managed by State Fish and Wildlife. It sits among a cluster of other climbing spots and trails, so it works well as a stop on a day spent exploring the park's crags. The most comfortable months for a visit are typically late spring and early fall. At a nearby weather station, typical averages run from highs around 69°F in May to about 76°F in September, with lows in the mid-40s to low 50s. That station sits roughly 640 feet below the park, so temperatures at the Redgarden area run a little cooler. Close by are Redgarden - Tower One, Kloof Alcove and the West Ridge Climbing Access Trail, each about 0.1 mile away. For an overnight stay, Winiger Ridge campground is about 4.7 miles off.
