On August 31, 2026 — the day this page was generated — first light reaches this trailhead at 6:24 a.m., the sun rises at 6:49 a.m. and sets at 7:42 p.m., and the last usable light fades about 8:07 p.m. (MDT) — 12 h 53 min of daylight. At about 2.7 mph plus 30 minutes per 1,000 feet of climbing, the 13.4-mile round trip takes roughly 5 h 28 min, so leaving the trailhead at sunrise puts you back around 12:17 p.m. — 7 h 25 min before sunset.
