On August 31, 2026 — the day this page was generated — first light reaches this trailhead at 5:30 a.m., the sun rises at 6:01 a.m. and sets at 7:24 p.m., and the last usable light fades about 7:56 p.m. (MDT) — 13 h 23 min of daylight. At about 2.7 mph plus 30 minutes per 1,000 feet of climbing, the 22.1-mile route takes roughly 8 h 14 min, so leaving the trailhead at sunrise puts you back around 2:15 p.m. — 5 h 09 min before sunset.
