Frequently Asked Questions

Check-in is at 3 pm Mountain Time and check-out is at Noon.

You may choose to add an automatic nightly gratuity through your reservation agent prior to arrival, or through Guest Services at check-in. We suggest $35 per person per night of stay for those on the Retreat packages, and this will conveniently cover your gratuities for everything except one-on-one services and wine or beer service. If you elect not to take advantage of automatic gratuity option, you can add gratuity nightly during dining service, and at the end of your stay, you can add gratuity for individual team members on your guest folio. Gratuity envelopes are also available. All one-on-one services such as spa & salon services, adventure trips, personal trainers, personal guide experiences will give you the opportunity to sign for gratuity. A gratuity equaling 15-20% of the service fee is suggested.

Red Mountain has something for all levels. All our guides are experienced, professional and attentive. We make sure all our guests are well-equipped and safe at all times.

There are two levels of hikes that are offered every day and a third level on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday; ascending from beginner (Explorer), intermediate (Challenge) and expert (Endurance). Level increases are based upon pace, terrain and distance. Note: morning hikes are considered group activities; therefore, pace may be subject to change.

Daily guided hikes generally last two to three hours depending on the level and hike offered that day. Return time is orchestrated to coincide with the morning stretch classes.

Advance sign-up is required in person at Outdoor Recreation no later than 6 pm the night before the hike.

Seasonal clothing- wear layers to your comfort level (including jackets, gloves, and ear-covers in colder months.) Winter morning temperatures can begin in the low 20’s and move into the 40’s by the end of the hike. Summer months may begin in the 70’s and end in the 100’s.
