Raptor Ridge

Difficulty	Distance	Steps	Elevation Gain
Difficult	2.0 Miles Round-trip	5,280 est.	372

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.
