Difficulty	Distance	Steps	Elevation Gain	USFS Trail #
Strenuous	4.9 Miles One-way	14,373 est.		414

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

Trail begins in Douglas fir and ponderosa pine forest and climbs north into Lake Chelan-Sawtooth Wilderness. It is steep for the first 3 miles; last 2 miles easier through forest and meadows to Slate Lake.
