Good luck finding it! - its a muddy patch of ground in the wilderness ;) Says Tom
This hiking trail has a total elevation difference of 588 feet, and that is lower than average. This is a long backpacking and hiking trail, so don't forget to pack enough supplies. Granite Mountain Trail Number Two Hundred Sixty One is 6.4 miles long it's an average length hiking trail. This hiking trail has two trailheads, so backcountry trekking it one way is an option if you can arrange for a ride back. There's not much difference in elevation along the hiking trail, so you get pretty much the same conditions along the whole hiking trail. This neighborhood does get very dry sometimes, so do check for current fire restrictions before you go if you plan to bring a stove or make a camp fire. The time needed for this trek is roughly 6 hours, but of course some folks walk a bit slower and some a bit faster.
