The total elevation difference for this wilderness hiking trail is 1,011 feet which is about average. This is a two-ended wilderness hiking trail with two trailheads, so backcountry hiking it one way is an option if you can arrange for a ride back. Windmiller Trail stays roughly within the same elevation zone the whole time, so you won’t have to worry about different climate zones along your backcountry walk. Being 5.8 miles long it's a mid length backcountry walk. This backcountry walk shouldn't take more than 5 hours, but of course some folks walk a bit slower and some a bit faster. Windmiller Trail is not that long but it's always good to bring some emergency supplies, you never know what could happen. 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.
