Daylight at the trailhead

On August 31, 2026 — the day this page was generated — first light reaches this trailhead at 6:14 a.m., the sun rises at 6:42 a.m. and sets at 7:46 p.m., and the last usable light fades about 8:14 p.m. (EDT) — 13 h 05 min of daylight. At about 2.7 mph plus 30 minutes per 1,000 feet of climbing, the 7.0-mile round trip takes roughly 3 h 10 min, so leaving the trailhead at sunrise puts you back around 9:52 a.m. — 9 h 55 min before sunset.
