Red Trail is a short, easy hike in New York, set within the Bozen Kill area on land managed by a non-governmental organization. The route is 0.7 miles long, with a low point of 456 feet and a high of 504 feet, so the climb is a gentle one of about 37 feet. The steepest stretch comes early on, at about 0.13 miles in, with a grade of 8 percent. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Delanson show May highs around 70°F and September highs around 74°F, while July peaks near 81°F and January highs sit around 31°F. That station sits roughly 480 feet higher than the trail, so temperatures on the trail run a little warmer. The White Trail lies just 0.1 mile away, and the Orange Trail is about 1.8 miles off. The Fred Schroeder Memorial Trail (Red) and the Escarpment Trail are both within about 3 miles.
