Red Eft is a short, steep out-and-back mountain biking route in Jones Park, a city-managed park in New York. The climb rises about 270 feet from a starting point of roughly 1,260 feet to a high point of about 1,490 feet, and the route is rated expert. The steepest stretch comes within the first 0.13 miles, with a grade of about 12 percent. The route is about a mile long, and the total elevation gain and loss are each about 270 feet. The most comfortable months for riding are typically late spring through early fall, when typical averages from a nearby weather station in Endicott run from highs around 70°F in May to about 74°F in September. That station sits roughly 660 feet lower than the route, so temperatures on the climb run cooler. Several other mountain biking routes lie close by. Double D and Red Eye (bottom) are each about 0.2 miles away, Corner Trail is about 0.4 miles away, and Otter Limits is about 0.6 miles away.
