There are two trailheads to chose from, one in each end, so if you can get a ride from someone, you can trek it just one way. Morton Ridge Trail has a total elevation difference of 2,494 feet which is about average. Morton Ridge Trail is 7.8 miles long it's a mid length hike. At parts of the year this vicinity sees very little rain, so make sure you check current conditions and fire restrictions with local forest authorities before you head out. Morton Ridge Trail goes through some very different elevations, and that means that some parts of the backcountry trail could be very different from other parts of it. Now this wilderness trail is pretty long, so don't forget to pack enough supplies. You should count on this backcountry walk taking about 6.5 hours, but of course some folks walk a bit slower and some a bit faster.
