Different parts of Four Mile Trail are at very different elevations, and that means that some parts of the backpacking and hiking trail could be very different from other parts of it. The time needed for this backcountry walk is roughly 6.5 hours, but of course some people walk a bit slower and some a bit faster. There are two trailheads to chose from, one in each end which means you have the option of trekking it one way if you have someone to pick you up at the other end. This trail has a total elevation difference of 3,869 feet which is higher than average. This area does get very dry sometimes, so don’t forget to check for any current fire restrictions before you go. This is a long hiking trail, so do pack enough food to last the whole trip. With its 7.4 miles of walking distance it's a mid length backcountry hike.
