Red Lake Trail #719 is a hard hike in Oregon's Mt. Hood National Forest, within the Clackamas River Ranger District. The trail is an out-and-back that starts at about 5,335 feet and climbs to a high point of 5,368 feet, with a total gain of 2,369 feet over the course of the round trip. The one-way distance is about 10.6 miles, and the Forest Service manages the land. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Santiam Junction, which sits well below the trail, show July and August highs around 76°F with lows near 42°F. That station's figures are not directly comparable to conditions on the trail, which sits higher. The hike takes about 4.5 hours. Top Lake and Timber Lake are both within half a mile, and Double Peaks is about 0.6 miles away. For an overnight stay, the Olallie Lake Guard Station Cabin is about 1.1 miles off.
