Daylight at the trailhead

On October 14, 2026 — the day this page was generated — first light reaches this trailhead at 8:28 a.m., the sun rises at 9:18 a.m. and sets at 7:11 p.m., and the last usable light fades about 8:01 p.m. (MDT) — 9 h 53 min of daylight. At about 2.7 mph plus 30 minutes per 1,000 feet of climbing, the 80.2-mile route works out to roughly 31 h 29 min of walking — more than a single day of daylight here, so plan it as an overnight or hike it in sections.
