Pick the trail length that suits your fitness level.

- Intermediate Hike Length: 6.8 Miles. Elevation 1164. Hike Difficulty: ★★★☆☆ (3/5). Moderate. This is a medium-distance hike that can be completed by most people in good condition. Red Trail on the Map.
- Expert Hike Length: 10 Miles. Elevation 1500. Hike Difficulty: ★★★★☆ (4/5). Strenuous. 10 Miles Hiking is a challenge for most people. Unless you know how far 10 miles really is … don’t attempt this trail. Red to Blue Trail on the Map
Trail Running Alternative:
Some trails are good for hiking only. Some trails are good for trail running only. Our Sky Meadows trail fits squarely in the middle. Those people that want to hike, can do so. Those people that want to run, can do so. You’ll get information for preparing for both activities in the documentation.
Meetup Time: 7:30AM (at the trailhead parking lot). Hike/Run begins at 8AM. Yes, it’s an early start, but we want to make sure we have plenty of time for wine and food afterward.

Hike Difficulty Rating:
Difficulty ratings for hikes are very subjective. Different aspects of hike such as length, elevation gain, temperature, and conditions can make a hike easier for some people than others. Our ratings are for informational purposes only, please do your own reason on a hike before attempting. When in doubt, contact the state or national park ranger’s station. Park rangers know better than anyone the current conditions and difficulty of their trails.
★☆☆☆☆ Level 1: Easiest. Generally suitable for anyone who enjoys walking. Mostly level or with a slight incline. Generally, less than 3 miles.
★★☆☆☆ Level 2: Moderate. Generally suitable for novice hikers seeking a bit of a challenge. If you are brand new to hiking, we recommend you start with a level 1 or level 2 hike. The terrain will involve a moderate incline and may have some steeper sections. Generally, 3 to 5 miles.
★★★☆☆ Level 3: Challenging. Level 3 hikes can be quite challenging. You should have hiking boots, hiking backpacks, and have several level 2 hikes before attempting a level 3. Level 3 hike will break down an unconditioned person quickly. The terrain will involve a steady and often steep incline. Generally, 5 to 8 miles.
★★★★☆ Level 4: Hard. At level 4 and above you need to carry a lot of water with you, and be able to maintain hiking against steep, uneven terrain for long periods of time. Generally, 7 to 10 miles.
★★★★★ Level 5: Very Hard. Level 5 hike are designed for well-conditioned, highly experienced hikers. Expect long and steep trails, with rock scrambles, stream crossings, and other challenges. Generally, 8 miles and over.
