The elevation gain is actually twice what the books say, as you gain about 600+ in, and about 500 out. Good trail.
The trip is a moderate effort hike, but all hikers must be in good shape and have good endurance. This is not a hike for beginners, as 9 miles can be taxing. Please call if you have questions.
