Owen’s Loop is a moderately difficult hiking trail that consists of a well-maintained single track trail. This trail wanders along the cliff side of the Red Hill and circles around to give hikers a beautiful view of the Red Hills Golf Course. It is a hidden gem that many people don’t know about, so you may even get to enjoy a hike here as the sole outdoor enthusiast!
