The route is roughly 1.4 miles long, with a total elevation gain of 189 feet, and it rises to a high point of 830 feet before returning to a low of 564 feet. The climb is steepest around the 0.7-mile mark, where the grade reaches about 16 percent, though the trail is otherwise gentle and completes in about half an hour.
