The total elevation difference for this backcountry trail is 1,097 feet which is an average number. Sometimes this backpacking trail gets really dry, so make sure you check current conditions and fire restrictions with local forest authorities before you head out. This backcountry trail has two trailheads, so if you can get a ride from someone, you can walk it just one way. The wilderness trail stays roughly within the same elevation zone the whole time which means the conditions are about the same from start to finish. You should count on this backcountry walk taking about 2 hours, but of course some people walk a bit slower and some a bit faster. Buttermilk Trail is not that long but you should still bring some emergency supplies just in case something happens. Buttermilk Trail is 2.4 miles long it's shorter than many wilderness trails.
