Being 10 miles long; it's a long trail. Some parts of this trail are much higher up than other parts of the trail, so keep in mind that you may need to dress differently at different elevations. The total elevation difference for Burnt Lake Trail is 2,553 feet which is higher than average. This is a two-ended hiking and backpacking trail with two trailheads, so if you can get a ride from someone, you can walk it just one way. This backcountry trek shouldn't take more than 8.5 hours, but you never know stuff could go wrong and you could get stuck so be prepared for that. This is a long backpacking trail, so make sure you bring plenty of supplies. At parts of the year this area sees very little rain, so do check for current fire restrictions before you go if you plan to bring a stove or make a camp fire.
