This is a two-ended great outdoors trail with two trailheads which means you have the option of backcountry trekking it one way if you have someone to pick you up at the other end. Horton Creek Trail is 17.6 miles long; it's longer than many trails. Horton Creek Trail is quite long, so make sure you bring plenty of supplies. The trail stays roughly within the same elevation zone the whole time which means the conditions are about the same from start to finish. Now, this is roughly a 2.5-day walk, so better have big a backpack to fit all the stuff you need. The total elevation difference for this great outdoors trail is 722 feet which is a lower than average number. At parts of the year this vicinity sees very little rain, so don’t forget to check for any current fire restrictions before you go.
