Even though this is not a very long backcountry trail you should still bring some emergency supplies just in case something happens. This vicinity does get very dry sometimes, so do check for current fire restrictions before you go if you plan to bring a stove or make a camp fire. You spend the whole backcountry trek in roughly the same elevation zone which means the conditions are about the same from start to finish.

You should count on this backcountry trek taking about 3.5 hours, but you never know stuff could go wrong and you could get stuck so be prepared for that.
