South Summit Trail

Difficulty	Distance	Steps	Elevation Gain
Easy	6.0 Miles Round-trip	12,185 est.	550

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.

Be a map and compass expert! Make sure you have both physical ones, paper and mechanical, respectively. Phones can die on the trail, so it’s better to be safe than sorry.
