What is the dirt like on Red Tape?

Red Tape is mostly clay soil, which holds water and stays muddy longer after rain. That is a big part of why the live mud reading reacts the way it does after rain, and why some nearby trails dry out faster than others.

Does Red Tape get snow, and when does it melt out?

Red Tape tops out around 148 ft. Higher Washington trails hold snow later into spring, so this page tracks snow coverage and the estimated melt-out alongside the dry-dirt read. Check the current reading and the 10-day outlook before you head up. See the 10-day outlook →
