Hasn't voted | According to the route info a half a day is needed to complete the hike. For good hikers around two hours is needed for the entire hike and for people who hike at a slower pace or like a more lesiurely hike it shouldn't take more than three to four hours depending on how much time you spend on the summit. | |

Hasn't voted | First of all, my definition of "day" is the hours of usable sunlight. In the winter, this could be 10-11 hours. Thus to me, a "half day" hike is a hike that takes 4 hours or more. Round-trip distance for this trail is 8.2 miles. To finish in 2 hours requires hiking faster than 4 mi/hr, which is a brisk pace on flat ground, very brisk on steep terrain. Many hikers will go no faster than 1-1.5 mi/hr. This implies 5.5-8 hours of total hiking time. In the winter, 8 hours is much more than half a day of usable sunlight. | |
