With its 8.6 miles of walking distance it's a mid length backcountry hike. Different parts of Straight Creek Trail are at very different elevations, so keep in mind that you may need to dress differently at different elevations. There are two trailheads to chose from, one in each end which means you have the option of backpacking it one way if you have someone to pick you up at the other end. Straight Creek Trail is quite long, so do pack enough food to last the whole trip. The time needed for this walk is roughly 7.5 hours, but you never know stuff could go wrong and you could get stuck so be prepared for that. This wilderness trail has a total elevation difference of 2,918 feet which is a higher than average number. At parts of the year this neighborhood sees very little rain, so make sure you check current conditions and fire restrictions with local forest authorities before you head out.
