McKinley Creek Trail has a total elevation difference of 1,580 feet, and that is about average. Some parts of this hiking trail are much higher up than other parts of the hiking trail, so keep in mind that you may need to dress differently at different elevations. This is a two-ended hiking trail with two trailheads, so if you can get a ride from someone, you can backcountry trek it just one way. With its 8.6 miles of walking distance it's an average length hiking trail. This backcountry walk shouldn't take more than 7.5 hours, but of course some people walk a bit slower and some a bit faster. This backpacking and hiking trail sometimes gets very dry, so don’t forget to check for any current fire restrictions before you go. This is a long backpacking and hiking trail, so do pack enough food to last the whole trip.
