This is a two-ended hiking and backpacking trail with two trailheads which means you have the option of backcountry hiking it one way if you have someone to pick you up at the other end. Some parts of this great outdoors trail are much higher up than other parts of the great outdoors trail, and that means that some parts of the great outdoors trail could be very different from other parts of it. Now, this is roughly a 2.5-day backcountry trek, so better have big a backpack to fit all the stuff you need. Being 17.6 miles long; it's longer than many great outdoors trails. Sometimes this backcountry trail gets really dry, so do check for current fire restrictions before you go if you plan to bring a stove or make a camp fire. This is a long backcountry trail, so do pack enough food to last the whole trip. Cascade Crest Trail has a total elevation difference of 2,024 feet which is an average number.
