On August 31, 2026 — the day this page was generated — first light reaches this trailhead at 6:34 a.m., the sun rises at 7:01 a.m. and sets at 8:05 p.m., and the last usable light fades about 8:32 p.m. (EDT) — 13 h 04 min of daylight. At about 2.7 mph plus 30 minutes per 1,000 feet of climbing, the 19.7-mile round trip takes roughly 8 h 00 min, so leaving the trailhead at sunrise puts you back around 3:01 p.m. — 5 h 04 min before sunset.
