On October 14, 2026 — the day this page was generated — first light reaches this trailhead at 7:12 a.m., the sun rises at 7:38 a.m. and sets at 7:00 p.m., and the last usable light fades about 7:25 p.m. (EDT) — 11 h 22 min of daylight. At about 2.7 mph plus 30 minutes per 1,000 feet of climbing, the 27.6-mile route takes roughly 11 h 15 min, so leaving the trailhead at sunrise puts you back around 6:53 p.m. — 7 min before sunset.
