Lime Kiln Trail

Difficulty	Distance	Steps	Elevation Gain
Moderate	7.0 Miles Loop	17,600 est.	600

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.

Notes

A history lesson. Trail goes along remnats of the Everett and Monte Cristo Railroad Grade built in 1892-1893 and abandoned in 1934. Canyon Lime and Cement Company built the lime kiln which was built in 1899. Keep an eye out for several artificats found along the trail.
