Red Trail is a short, easy hike in Sluder Preserve, a city-managed preserve about 0.7 miles from Armonk, New York. The trail is 0.77 miles long, with a total elevation gain of 140 feet, and it is rated easy. The route is a point-to-point path rather than a loop. It starts at about 575 feet and reaches a high point of 592 feet, with the steepest stretch at about 0.29 miles in, where the grade reaches 29%. The trail is not open to bikes or horses. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall are the best bets. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 69°F and September highs around 74°F, with July the warmest month at about 83°F. The Yellow Trail and Green Trail both start within about 0.1 miles of Red Trail. Armonk Cliffs, a climbing area, is about 2.1 miles away, and the Blue Trail (cliff trail) is about 2.5 miles away.
