I went to Red last year. Really fun mountain with a lot of diverse terrain. I think my favorite stuff was on the backside of the mtn. They have this awesome log cabin lodge with a deck back there and its a prime spot for lunch. Nice place to enjoy the weather and have some beers for lunch. Really nothing going on at night at the base however. Head into Rossland for some great restaurants. Liquor store in town too to stock up. Check out the town of Trail as well. One of the strangest places i have ever seen. I think Whitewater is also worth the drive. Very small laidback vibe to it and never crowded. Nelson is close to that and it seemed like there was a lot more going on over there. Have a fun time.
