You should count on this hike taking about 8 hours, but you never know stuff could go wrong and you could get stuck so be prepared for that. Sometimes this backcountry hiking trail gets really dry, so do check for current fire restrictions before you go if you plan to bring a stove or make a camp fire. This great outdoors trail has two trailheads, so backcountry hiking it one way is an option if you can arrange for a ride back.
