Where to park
We haven't confirmed the fee at the lot below yet. Check posted signs when you arrive.
Walking distances follow the mapped trail network. They are not a route, they ignore slope, and they are not driving directions.
OpenStreetMap grades the footing here as: well-marked trail, no exposure. That describes the ground, not how hard the hike is.
Elevation
Climb, time and difficulty are estimates worked out from the mapped line and USGS elevation data, not measurements or official ratings. Time assumes about 2.5 mph plus an hour per 1,500 ft climbed.
Shelters and campsites
13 mapped within about 500 ft of the trail, listed north to south. Brown dots on the map. Check the land manager's rules before relying on one: some need a fee, a reservation or a permit.
