Foothill Trail has a total elevation difference of 679 feet, and that is lower than average. With its 3.4 miles of walking distance it's shorter than many wilderness trails. 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 backcountry trail has two trailheads, so backpacking it one way is an option if you can arrange for a ride back. You should count on this backcountry hike taking about 3 hours, but you never know stuff could go wrong and you could get stuck so be prepared for that. This wilderness hiking trail is not that long but it's always fine to bring some emergency supplies, you never know what could happen. At parts of the year this region sees very little rain, so do check for current fire restrictions before you go if you plan to bring a stove or make a camp fire.
