Nile Ridge Trail has two trailheads, so backcountry backpacking it one way is an option if you can arrange for a ride back. Some parts of Nile Ridge Trail are much higher up than other parts of the backcountry hiking trail, so keep in mind that you may need to dress differently at different elevations. Being 11.2 miles long; it's considered a longer trek. Of course, this is an overnight walk, 1.5 days normally, so it's a tremendous thing if your backpack is big enough to do the job. Now this hiking trail is pretty long, so do pack enough food to last the whole trip. The total elevation difference for Nile Ridge Trail is 3,162 feet which is higher than average.
