On October 14, 2026 — the day this page was generated — first light reaches this trailhead at 6:50 a.m., the sun rises at 7:22 a.m. and sets at 6:16 p.m., and the last usable light fades about 6:48 p.m. (NDT) — 10 h 54 min of daylight. At about 2.7 mph plus 30 minutes per 1,000 feet of climbing, the 6.5-mile route takes roughly 2 h 26 min, so leaving the trailhead at sunrise puts you back around 9:48 a.m. — 8 h 28 min before sunset.
