It is an out-and-back trail that rises from 1,519 feet to 1,607 feet, with a total elevation gain of 335 feet over its 3.6-mile length. The climb is steepest at about 0.34 miles in, where the grade reaches 8 percent, and the route is rated hard. Winter is the natural season for this trail. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show January highs around 18°F with lows near -4°F, while March runs warmer at about 37°F.
