This trail sometimes gets very dry, so do check for current fire restrictions before you go if you plan to bring a stove or make a camp fire. You should count on this backcountry hike taking about 2 hours, but of course some folks walk a bit slower and some a bit faster. There are two trailheads to chose from, one in each end, so if you can get a ride from someone, you can hike it just one way. Bill Williams National Recreation Trail is not that long but it's always fine to bring some emergency supplies, you never know what could happen. Being 2.4 miles long it's shorter than many backpacking trails. There's not much difference in elevation along Bill Williams National Recreation Trail, so you get pretty much the same conditions along the whole backpacking trail. The total elevation difference for this hiking and backpacking trail is 1,493 feet which is about average.
