This is a two-ended backcountry hiking trail with two trailheads, so if you can get a ride from someone, you can trek it just one way. This backcountry hiking trail has a total elevation difference of 1,153 feet which is an average number. Keep in mind that this is a long hiking trail, so do pack enough food to last the whole trip. Sometimes this hiking trail gets really dry, so make sure you check current conditions and fire restrictions with local forest authorities before you head out. The backcountry hiking trail stays roughly within the same elevation zone the whole time, so you won’t have to worry about different climate zones along your walk. This backcountry trek shouldn't take more than 6.5 hours, but of course some folks walk a bit slower and some a bit faster. Being 7.2 miles long it's a mid length walk.
