On August 31, 2026 — the day this page was generated — first light reaches this trailhead at 6:30 a.m., the sun rises at 7:01 a.m. and sets at 8:20 p.m., and the last usable light fades about 8:50 p.m. (MDT) — 13 h 19 min of daylight. At about 2.7 mph plus 30 minutes per 1,000 feet of climbing, the 13.2-mile route takes roughly 7 h 06 min, so leaving the trailhead at sunrise puts you back around 2:07 p.m. — 6 h 13 min before sunset.
