Idaho trails · Archer Trail
A 16.4-mile out-and-back in Idaho, with 4,661 ft of climbing. Reaches Windy Saddle and other pass destinations.
The climbing is spread fairly evenly along the route. It gives back about 3,687 ft along the way, so it rolls rather than climbing steadily.
On August 31, 2026 — the day this page was generated — first light reaches this trailhead at 5:28 a.m., the sun rises at 5:59 a.m. and sets at 7:20 p.m., and the last usable light fades about 7:51 p.m. (PDT) — 13 h 21 min of daylight. At about 2.7 mph plus 30 minutes per 1,000 feet of climbing, the 32.9-mile round trip works out to roughly 16 h 50 min of walking — more than a single day of daylight here, so plan it as an overnight or hike it in sections.
