This wilderness trail has a total elevation difference of 1,684 feet, and that is about average. Now, this is roughly a 3-day backcountry trek, so better have big a backpack to fit all the stuff you need. Being 21.2 miles long; it's longer than many backpacking trails. Smarty Creek Trail is a two ended wilderness trail with two trailheads, so backcountry backpacking it one way is an option if you can arrange for a ride back. Now this backpacking trail is pretty long, so do pack enough food to last the whole trip. Some parts of this backpacking trail are much higher up than other parts of the backpacking trail which of course means you need to be prepared for different conditions on different parts of the backpacking trail. This backpacking trail sometimes gets very dry, so make sure you check current conditions and fire restrictions with local forest authorities before you head out.
