This hiking and backpacking trail has two trailheads which means you have the option of hiking it one way if you have someone to pick you up at the other end. This backcountry trail sometimes gets very dry, so make sure you check current conditions and fire restrictions with local forest authorities before you head out. Being 7.2 miles long it's an average length wilderness trail. Deer Lake Trail has a total elevation difference of 1,145 feet which is about average. There's not much difference in elevation along the wilderness trail, so you get pretty much the same conditions along the whole wilderness trail. This is a backcountry trail that is quite long, so make sure you bring plenty of supplies. This backcountry hike shouldn't take more than 6.5 hours, but of course some folks walk a bit slower and some a bit faster.
