On August 31, 2026 — the day this page was generated — first light reaches this trailhead at 5:37 a.m., the sun rises at 6:07 a.m. and sets at 7:23 p.m., and the last usable light fades about 7:53 p.m. (EDT) — 13 h 16 min of daylight. At about 2.7 mph plus 30 minutes per 1,000 feet of climbing, the 8.3-mile round trip takes roughly 5 h 15 min, so leaving the trailhead at sunrise puts you back around 11:22 a.m. — 8 h 01 min before sunset.
