The hike is strenuous covering 7 miles and gaining over 1000ft of elevation. Hikers are required to have 3 liters of water and sturdy hiking boots or trail runners. Hiking poles are strongly encouraged on this hike as there are many rocky sections and a few steep inclines. Hikers are encouraged to leave some water in their cars for the return trip. The park has no water so make sure you bring everything you will need. The trailhead does have portable bathrooms but you might want to pack something for the hike.
