Sunshine Peaks via Redcloud Peak

This route is the best way to summit both Redcloud Peak and Sunshine Peak together. Some hikers prefer to complete a circuit of both peaks by using Sunshine's northwest face route, but the easiest (and safest) method is to hike Redcloud, traverse to Sunshine, and return over Redcloud on your descent.
