This wilderness hiking trail has a total elevation difference of 1,099 feet which is about average. King Crest Trail has two trailheads, so if you can get a ride from someone, you can backcountry walk it just one way. King Crest Trail is quite long, so do pack enough food to last the whole trip. The backcountry trail stays roughly within the same elevation zone the whole time, so you get pretty much the same conditions along the whole backcountry trail. King Crest Trail is 14.8 miles long; it's longer than many backcountry trails. Now, this is roughly a 2.5-day backcountry walk, so make sure you've got all your overnight gear packed. Sometimes this backpacking and hiking trail gets really dry, so don’t forget to check for any current fire restrictions before you go.
