Red Bug Trail
Note: 2013 proposed revisions mapped here.
Red Bug "Reverse" photo tour from Nov 2011 here.
Photos 5-637 (DSC_9102-9735) from an 11Nov07 walk around Red Bug Trail's ~3.4M length. For the most part, I took a shot every ten paces or so.
Note: With the March '09 addition of the 1120m/0.7M small intestine section, the loop distance is now a bit over 4M.

October 2011 Phipps Park map, which includes Red Bug Trail marker numbers.
I went in numerical order on the trail, #1-103 - including the gap from 103 to 1 to "close the loop." I did not follow the road ("woop-dee-doo") section between #94 and 100. I took the newer narrow singletrack behind the ballfield instead. The woop-dee-doo section is incompatible for mountainbike use due to user conflict. Too much downhill speed around blind corners.
NOTE: I'm not happy with the color and harsh lighting on these shots. Might post another gallery.
