As of writing this (6/22/20) 15 miles of the trail system is open with another 15 planned to be open by the end of summer or early fall. Redhead is built in a huge mine pit on the Iron Range and offers spectacular views and varied riding to satisfy riders of all backgrounds. From flowy xc, to jumplines to technical jank you will find something here to enjoy. There are also a couple more open areas like Secret garden, and to a lesser extent, pit plunge, where you can pick your own line choices. This is unique to Minnesota, and gives us a small taste of what you may find out in Utah, albeit on what looks more like a Martian surface which will stain your tires after a long ride. Best scenery of the three trail systems on the Iron Range (Tioga and Cuyuna being the others) and the potential to have the best riding after we see what the other half holds though as of right now Tioga is still my favorite (damn good downhill flow and jump lines there and much more).
There is drinking water.
| ThankThere are restrooms, on both the north and south sides of the pit.
E-Bikes are allowed.
