Daylight at the trailhead

On October 14, 2026 — the day this page was generated — first light reaches this trailhead at 7:10 a.m., the sun rises at 7:38 a.m. and sets at 6:47 p.m., and the last usable light fades about 7:15 p.m. (MDT) — 11 h 09 min of daylight. At about 2.7 mph plus 30 minutes per 1,000 feet of climbing, the 12.4-mile route takes roughly 6 h 15 min, so leaving the trailhead at sunrise puts you back around 1:53 p.m. — 4 h 54 min before sunset.
