Many of you know about Firehouse Hill. We always marked it up to being an easy moderate hike up to the top of the large hill behind the BLM fire station near the Red Rock Canyon Campground and at the base of the North Blue Diamond Hill. In the last few years, many bike trails have been laid out in this area between the North Blue Diamond Hill and the basin at SR 159 west of CC 215. Many of these bike trails go for miles circling below the cliffs so hiking the trails completely would be difficult unless you are training for a long distance haul like our friends Brian, Larry, Susan, Sandi and Setsuko ... to name a few. However, with the help of Google Earth, we mapped out a 6.5 mile hike making a loop around and up and down the formidable Firehouse Hill that rises to the west of Moenkopi Road.
Stats: 6.4 miles; 1100' gain; 3.5 hours
