Fernandez Trail is a two ended trail with two trailheads which means you have the option of backcountry trekking it one way if you have someone to pick you up at the other end. With its 5.2 miles of walking distance it's a mid length backcountry walk. Fernandez Trail is not that long 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. You should count on this hike taking about 4.5 hours, but you never know stuff could go wrong and you could get stuck so be prepared for that. There's not much difference in elevation along Fernandez Trail, so you won’t have to worry about different climate zones along your backcountry walk. This trail has a total elevation difference of 606 feet which is a lower than average number.
