Often missed, the Red Onion Trail is a good adventure for hikers looking to challenge themselves with their trail-finding skills. If you’re up for it, the payoff is worth it: the trail features fun scrambles and explorations in and out of drainages that feel like mini slot canyons.
If starting at the trailhead (accessible only with a high clearance vehicle: you can also start this trail from the Fisher Towers trailhead), the trail climbs a short hill and continues over 300 feet to a trail junction. From this junction is a loop; you can hike in either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction.
If starting from the Fisher Towers trail, look for a southwest turnoff a few hundred feet after starting from the Fisher Towers trailhead.
