Description
According to the signage, this trail starts off Outer Loop (just north of the Northwest Trail). It travels for a short distance, then arcs around to the right. It appears to coincide with Cotton Candy, then turns onto a narrow singletrack. It travels along this before reaching an old woods road. The trail is loosely marked by faded yellow flagging, as it ascends the hill. It appears that there is an older tread for Red Zone, that is little used. Stick to the wider tread trail to avoid getting lost in the brush. If you manage to navigate your way up to Sweet 16, then you're doing well. The trail continues to climb until it reaches Middle Loop.
