you should include the hiking distance in this page, I'm wondering how far this route is so I can bring a beginner..

Good idea. I updated the description. As for your question, it all depends on what you mean by beginner. If your beginner is in shape/athletic, then this will be a teaser hike; an easy, fun afternoon or morning but if your beginner is not in shape and not used to dusty, steep trails, then could kill the spirit of a potential hiker. I love this trail. Nothing technical, has parking, great views from the top but my wife would hate it. I took a buddy of mine backpacking a few years ago and we used this trail to access Desolation Valley and he hated it because he was out of shape and had a 40 +/- lb. pack.

Anyway, If you want to impress a beginner with a super easy hike, including a peak, try hiking Round Top from the pass.

Thanks, and good luck,
