"is it still a day hike if its dark out?"
Depends on if the answer is to a ranger looking for permits or not.

Is it still a dayhike if you're hiking in the dark?

In mid summer those walks would have been all in daylight. In autumn and winter they are not, hence the headtorch.

He has to get home and jump on the computer, to make sure all us SPers are behaving ourselves.
Why do you hate behaving?

The hikers had to walk five hours uphill to the park entrance to get a cell phone signal to call relatives for a ride home.

Gonzales said he is still upset that he had to pay the $240 tow charge, and that the park rangers didn't even bother to look and make sure nobody was lost or hurt.

There's a backcountry campsite 8 miles up the trail; that site serves no purpose for people using other trailheads. So how do you use an overnight campsite from a day use parking lot?

In northern Scotland, the hike would have be less than 4 hours long!
In northern Scandinavia, the hike would have be less than 0 hours long!
