There are two trailheads to chose from, one in each end which means you have the option of trekking it one way if you have someone to pick you up at the other end. The total elevation difference for this backcountry trail is 1,285 feet which is an average number. Molalla Trail is not that long but it's always wonderful to bring some emergency supplies, you never know what could happen. With its 6 miles of walking distance it's a mid length backcountry walk. This hike shouldn't take more than 5.5 hours, but you never know stuff could go wrong and you could get stuck so be prepared for that. There's not much difference in elevation along Molalla Trail, so you get pretty much the same conditions along the whole backcountry hiking trail.
