There are two trailheads to chose from, one in each end, so backcountry backpacking it one way is an option if you can arrange for a ride back. Buzzards Roost Trail has a total elevation difference of 864 feet which is a lower than average number. The time needed for this backcountry trek is roughly 2.5 hours, but you never know stuff could go wrong and you could get stuck so be prepared for that. With its 3 miles of walking distance it's a shorter type backcountry walk. Even though this is not a very long hiking and backpacking trail it's always delightful to bring some emergency supplies, you never know what could happen. 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. You spend the whole backcountry walk in roughly the same elevation zone, so you won’t have to worry about different climate zones along your backcountry walk.
