You should count on this hike taking about 2.5 hours, but you never know stuff could go wrong and you could get stuck so be prepared for that. At parts of the year this vicinity 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.

Even though this is not a very long great outdoors trail it's always good to bring some emergency supplies, you never know what could happen.
