This trip is rated Moderate [3]. Upon arrival in Utah you should be able to hike up to 10 miles with a 5–10 pound daypack over terrain with elevation gain and loss of up to 2,200', for consecutive days, without major discomfort. Trails are composed of dirt, loose rock, sand and slickrock with some steep sections and exposed overlooks.
Most hikes take place at altitudes between 5,000'–8,000'. This may cause hikes to feel harder and use more energy than at lower levels. In the summer, temperatures can soar and may also make hikes feel more strenuous. Please keep these conditions in mind when training for this adventure.
