Mount Rose Trail has two trailheads which means you have the option of backcountry hiking it one way if you have someone to pick you up at the other end. Being 12.4 miles long; it's a long backcountry trail. The total elevation difference for this backpacking and hiking trail is 1,022 feet, and that is about average. Mount Rose Trail is quite long, so do pack enough food to last the whole trip. This hiking and backpacking trail sometimes gets very dry, so do check for current fire restrictions before you go if you plan to bring a stove or make a camp fire. This hike should take you about 2 days, so it's a splendid thing if your backpack is big enough to do the job. 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.
