An unmarked route through dense forest, this two-kilometer approach to Mount Redfield's summit is said to demand careful navigation and a tolerance for rugged, trailless terrain. The ascent rewards those who persist with what many report to be commanding views across the High Peaks wilderness, though conditions and visibility naturally vary. Without blazes or markers to guide the way, the route calls for map-and-compass skills and a measured confidence in one's ability to read the landscape.
Mount Redfield Trail runs 1.3 miles (2.0 km) with about 1,316 feet of elevation gain — a demanding hike, with a steep, sustained climb, about 1 h 15 min on the trail.
