Flat Creek Trail is a two ended hiking and backpacking trail with two trailheads, so if you can get a ride from someone, you can trek it just one way. This backcountry 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 is not a very long backcountry trail but it's always delightful to bring some emergency supplies, you never know what could happen. This hiking and backpacking trail has a total elevation difference of 229 feet which is lower than average. There's not much difference in elevation along the backpacking and hiking trail, so you won’t have to worry about different climate zones along your walk. With its 5 miles of walking distance it's a mid length walk. You should count on this backcountry trek taking about 4.5 hours, but of course some people walk a bit slower and some a bit faster.
