On August 31, 2026 — the day this page was generated — first light reaches this trailhead at 6:02 a.m., the sun rises at 6:29 a.m. and sets at 7:33 p.m., and the last usable light fades about 8:00 p.m. (EDT) — 13 h 04 min of daylight. At about 2.7 mph plus 30 minutes per 1,000 feet of climbing, the 3.3-mile round trip takes roughly 1 h 14 min, so leaving the trailhead at sunrise puts you back around 7:43 a.m. — 11 h 50 min before sunset.
