Gorge Overlook Loop

Difficulty	Distance	Steps	Elevation Gain
Accessible	0.5 Miles Loop	1,148 est.	Less than 50

Steps are estimated from the hike distance and a difficulty-based stride length.

Formula: distance in miles × 5,280 feet ÷ stride length

Stride length is adjusted because tougher trails usually shorten each step:

Difficulty	Stride length
Unknown	2.2 ft
Accessible	2.3 ft
Easy	2.6 ft
Moderate	2.1 ft
Difficult	2.0 ft
More Difficult	1.9 ft
Strenuous	1.8 ft

The result is rounded to the nearest whole step and shown as an estimate.

Safety Tip

Hiking with Children

Teach kids what to do if they get lost or separated from the group. They should hug a tree near an open area and stay put. They should also know how to signal for help. And more!
