Briefly about the general area:
I can't stop, cause I'm havin' a great time here at Red Hill Trail. If you're here at Red Hill Trail, you could visit Little Camas Creek; Red Hill Trail is a delightful place to visit for more than one day, Pine Campground is a delightful place to camp nearby. You'll meet a lot of folks from Ellensburg here; whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then, we recommend Peshastin Creek.
Grouse Spring is an inspiring spot to stop by while here, and there are some good whitewater spots on Wenatchee River. A short tour to Mission Spring is always worthwhile, and Red Hill Trail is in close proximity to Devils Gulch which is positively worth stopping at.
Stump Campground is a good campground nearby, and a pleasant spree to Tronsen Meadow is a great way to spend an afternoon. Why not take a look at close by East Fork Mission Creek since you're here at Red Hill Trail, and do set aside some time for Upper Naneum Meadow while you're here at Red Hill Trail.
