The trail is an out-and-back that covers roughly half a mile, with a total elevation gain of 78 feet from the low point at 722 feet to the high at 772 feet. The climb is flat, and the steepest stretch comes at about 0.14 miles in, with a grade of 4 percent. Winter is the natural season for this route. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Greenville show January highs around 23°F with lows near 5°F, while March runs warmer at about 34°F.
