On August 31, 2026 — the day this page was generated — first light reaches this trailhead at 6:04 a.m., the sun rises at 6:29 a.m. and sets at 7:23 p.m., and the last usable light fades about 7:48 p.m. (CDT) — 12 h 53 min of daylight. At about 2.7 mph plus 30 minutes per 1,000 feet of climbing, the 6.9-mile round trip takes roughly 2 h 45 min, so leaving the trailhead at sunrise puts you back around 9:14 a.m. — 10 h 09 min before sunset.
