Daylight at the trailhead

On October 14, 2026 — the day this page was generated — first light reaches this trailhead at 7:16 a.m., the sun rises at 7:47 a.m. and sets at 6:46 p.m., and the last usable light fades about 7:17 p.m. (CDT) — 11 h 00 min of daylight. At about 2.7 mph plus 30 minutes per 1,000 feet of climbing, the 4.5-mile round trip takes roughly 1 h 50 min, so leaving the trailhead at sunrise puts you back around 9:36 a.m. — 9 h 10 min before sunset.
