The main group will needs to finish the 14 miles by 4:30 in order to catch the last bus down to the visitor center.

The green route shows the extension for the folks that want to go longer and faster. It will make the hike 19 miles with 3400' of gain. Instead of taking the spur trail down to the bus, they will take the Telephone Line Trail back to the visitor center.
