This backcountry trek shouldn't take more than 3 hours, but of course some people walk a bit slower and some a bit faster. Foothill Trail is 3.6 miles long it's a short backpacking trail. Even though this is not a very long wilderness hiking trail you should still bring some emergency supplies just in case something happens.

This region does get very dry sometimes, so don’t forget to check for any current fire restrictions before you go.
