Methuselah Trail has a total elevation difference of 1,312 feet, and that is about average. Methuselah Trail is quite long, so do pack enough food to last the whole trip. This hiking trail has two trailheads, so if you can get a ride from someone, you can hike it just one way. There's not much difference in elevation along the wilderness hiking trail, so you won’t have to worry about different climate zones along your backcountry hike. The time needed for this backcountry walk is roughly 7 hours, but of course some people walk a bit slower and some a bit faster. Being 7.6 miles long it's a mid length backcountry hike. At parts of the year this area sees very little rain, so don’t forget to check for any current fire restrictions before you go.
