South Fork Trail has a total elevation difference of 1,813 feet which is an average number. This is a two-ended backpacking trail with two trailheads, so backcountry backpacking it one way is an option if you can arrange for a ride back. South Fork Trail is quite long, so do pack enough food to last the whole trip. This area does get very dry sometimes, so do check for current fire restrictions before you go if you plan to bring a stove or make a camp fire. Being 14.8 miles long; it's considered a longer trek. Of course, this is an overnight hike, 2 days normally, so it's a perfect thing if your backpack is big enough to do the job. Some parts of this backcountry trail are much higher up than other parts of the backcountry trail, and that means that some parts of the backcountry trail could be very different from other parts of it.
