You spend the whole backcountry walk in roughly the same elevation zone, so you get pretty much the same conditions along the whole hiking trail. Now this great outdoors trail is pretty long, so make sure you bring plenty of supplies. There are two trailheads to chose from, one in each end, so backcountry backpacking it one way is an option if you can arrange for a ride back. The total elevation difference for Grey Rock Trail is 803 feet, and that is lower than average. The time needed for this backcountry trek is roughly 9 hours, but of course some folks walk a bit slower and some a bit faster. Being 9.6 miles long; it's considered a longer backcountry walk.
