    Jim, I won't be able to make it on time as I got home around 5:30.

    Liwen, two comments.
    1) total elevation gain is around 450 feet
    2) while the write-up says 6 miles, the actual distance will be between 4 and 5 miles because of the early sunset this time of year. I'll try to get us back right at (or a bit after) sunset.

      Jim, Sorry, on my mobile. I should be able to handle it with only 450' of elevation. 5:30 would be rush for me but would try to make it. THANKS!

    Hi, novice hiker. So is this an easy hike?

    • Joan

      No, it is not easy because it has some hills but it is not too tough. I'd call it easy intermediate. An easy hike would not be 6 miles.
