Balconies Trail is a two ended backcountry hiking trail with two trailheads, so if you can get a ride from someone, you can backcountry trek it just one way. There's not much difference in elevation along Balconies Trail, so you get pretty much the same conditions along the whole backcountry trail. Being 2.8 miles long it's a shorter type hike. This is not a very long wilderness trail but it's always great to bring some emergency supplies, you never know what could happen. This wilderness 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. This trek shouldn't take more than 2.5 hours, but of course some people walk a bit slower and some a bit faster. The total elevation difference for Balconies Trail is 316 feet, and that is lower than average.
