On October 14, 2026 — the day this page was generated — first light reaches this trailhead at 7:29 a.m., the sun rises at 7:59 a.m. and sets at 6:58 p.m., and the last usable light fades about 7:29 p.m. (CDT) — 10 h 59 min of daylight. At about 2.7 mph plus 30 minutes per 1,000 feet of climbing, the 15.1-mile route takes roughly 5 h 42 min, so leaving the trailhead at sunrise puts you back around 1:41 p.m. — 5 h 17 min before sunset.
