Red Trail is a flat, easy mountain biking route on Town of Bethlehem land in New York, managed as city property. The trail runs at a single elevation of about 213 feet, with no climb at all, so it works well for a short ride or a stop between other routes. The most comfortable months for riding are late spring through early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Albany show May highs around 71°F and September highs around 74°F, with July the warmest at about 84°F. Winter brings frequent snow days, with January highs near 33°F. The trail sits among a cluster of other mountain biking routes. Orange Trail, Yellow Trail and Blue Trail all lie about 0.1 mile away. For a walk, the Capital Hills Hiking Trail is about 1.7 miles off.
