I haven't been on Red Cone, but Twin Cone is close to Red Cone and has some relatively techical sections and is also very beautiful. You actually see Red Cone when you're at the top of Twin Cone. As stated above, you can see my pictures from Twin Cone in my thread in this "Trails & Tales" section. Check out traildamage.com for the best directions to get to Twin Cone.

I've never done or been to Holy Cross, but I've heard it's pretty nasty
