Very windy day! We hiked up Red Mountain Road to the saddle between Red Mountain & Black Mountain Overlook. From there, we took the Black Mountain Overlook Trail to the summit, then followed the ridgeline over to Black Mountain and River Mountain Peak. From there, we dropped down the North Ridge to the River Mountains South Powerline Road. We took the road to the Caldera Trail, which we took back to Red Mountain Road. A nice loop!
