There are two trailheads to chose from, one in each end, so if you can get a ride from someone, you can walk it just one way. North Fork Trail is quite long, so do pack enough food to last the whole trip. Different parts of this backcountry trail are at very different elevations which of course means you need to be prepared for different conditions on different parts of the backcountry trail. The total elevation difference for North Fork Trail is 2,991 feet, and that is higher than average. This region does get very dry sometimes, so make sure you check current conditions and fire restrictions with local forest authorities before you head out. Of course, this is an overnight hike, 2.5 days normally, so it's a magnificent thing if your backpack is big enough to do the job. With its 18 miles of walking distance; it's longer than many backcountry trails.
