This is an all-day adventure, but few 13,000ft mountains exist that are so accessible to the average hiker.

An average hiker can usually complete the trail in 3 or 4 days.

It is an unmarked trail, usually done from west to east, which takes about 45 days to complete for an average hiker.

This is why, by the way, the average hiker or bird-watcher never sees a woodcock in any season save spring.

But they sound more like hooligans than your average hiker, she thought.

The four hour round trip to the top and back on one of the shorter trails may be challenging for the average hiker.

The average hiker should wear long pants and hiking boots (even gloves) on these treks.

Here the path is like a mountain-goat trail and the thin air slows the average hiker's pace considerably.

Hiking the mountain takes about two hours for the average hiker, again depending on trail and weather conditions.

Crossings of the ravine should also be considered impossible for the average hiker.
