This is a two-ended great outdoors hiking trail with two trailheads, so if you can get a ride from someone, you can backcountry walk it just one way. You should count on this backcountry trek taking about 6 hours, but of course some people walk a bit slower and some a bit faster. Moon Lake Trail goes through some very different elevations which of course means you need to be prepared for different conditions on different parts of the trail.
