I went on a scramble with the Mountaineers up Red Mountain (the one north of Cle Elum). From NF-46 there is a clearly marked trailhead, but after a little while, the trail is hard to follow. We crossed another minor forest road, and then continued straight up the ridge to the summit. This ridge had a lot of pink plastic tape markers. There is plenty of snow toward the top, and it is moderately steep, so snowshoes were essential. Probably typical for November, the snow was only 8 inches deep, wet and loose, so we had to contend with whatever rocky surface was on the ground under the snow. Not great conditions, but do-able and a nice peak. We had great views out toward Mt. Stuart in the morning, with increasing clouds obscuring the vista later, and then just snowing on us. We had intended to do Hibox near Snoqualmie Pass, but drove further east to Red to get out of the weather.
