While the runs are fairly short, Red Heather has a lot to offer beginner ski tourers. Getting to the trail head follows the Diamond Head road to Garabaldi. Follow signs from Highway 99 up to Quest University. It's recommended to have chains as the road can get pretty gnarly higher up. The trail is mostly a road through the trees. Eventually it reaches the Red Heather warming shelter. This is a good spot to stop for lunch, fix troublesome skins, or patch blisters.
