Safety First

These calculations provide estimates based on mathematical models and should be used for planning purposes only. Actual hiking times vary significantly based on individual fitness, weather conditions, trail conditions, group dynamics, and many other factors.

Always plan conservatively, bring proper gear, inform someone of your plans, check weather forecasts, and be prepared to turn back if conditions change. This tool does not replace proper trip planning, navigation skills, or sound judgment in the backcountry.
