FAQs
Wear closed-toe hiking shoes and bring warm layers (temperatures drop quickly at night). Bring at least 1 liter of water per person, a small backpack or waist pack, a fully charged phone, and any personal medications (such as inhalers or an EpiPen). Sun protection is also recommended.
Arrive at least 15 minutes before your start time. Parking at the trailhead is limited, so arrive early if you want to try for a spot. If it’s full, use the free park shuttle, which runs every 8–10 minutes from the Visitor Center and drops off at Sunset Point.
You’ll hike about 3 miles with moderate elevation changes. The trail is well-maintained but can be steep, with uneven steps, switchbacks, and sections of soft footing. The hike takes place at over 7,000 feet, so hydrate and pace yourself.
