The time needed for this backcountry hike is roughly 7.5 hours, but you never know stuff could go wrong and you could get stuck so be prepared for that. Some parts of Rock Creek Trail are much higher up than other parts of the backcountry hiking trail which of course means you need to be prepared for different conditions on different parts of the backcountry hiking trail.
