Daylight at the trailhead
On August 31, 2026 — the day this page was generated — first light reaches this trailhead at 6:11 a.m., the sun rises at 6:36 a.m. and sets at 7:24 p.m., and the last usable light fades about 7:48 p.m. (CDT) — 12 h 48 min of daylight. At about 2.7 mph plus 30 minutes per 1,000 feet of climbing, the 3.1-mile round trip takes roughly 1 h 09 min, so leaving the trailhead at sunrise puts you back around 7:44 a.m. — 11 h 40 min before sunset.
