The round trip hike to the summit and back to the trailhead is 8 miles.
D4 (slopes around 30 degrees, similar to an easier "Expert" run at a resort);
R2 (slightly more inherent danger than average backcountry ski routes);
Grade II (how long it takes to complete in average conditions- half a day).
The total elevation gain is 4,500 feet and the summit elevation is 14,197 feet, and the main trailhead is the Missouri Gulch Trailhead, a 2WD dirt road.
This road is closed 4 miles below the trailhead, at 9,200 feet during winter.
