Daylight at the trailhead

On October 14, 2026 — the day this page was generated — first light reaches this trailhead at 7:28 a.m., the sun rises at 7:52 a.m. and sets at 7:22 p.m., and the last usable light fades about 7:46 p.m. (CDT) — 11 h 30 min of daylight. At about 2.7 mph plus 30 minutes per 1,000 feet of climbing, the 7.9-mile route takes roughly 3 h 24 min, so leaving the trailhead at sunrise puts you back around 11:16 a.m. — 8 h 06 min before sunset.
