Red Cloud Loop is designated as a National Scenic Byway. During the winter the scenery is just as incredible as the warmer months. The trail is mostly flat, wide, and well-groomed. It is suitable for riders of all abilities. There are two spurs available for more exploring. Grooming usually begins in January. High winds can cause severe drifting in less wooded areas around Trout Creek and Windy Park. Wintering moose are also common so be prepared to yield to them.
