Section hike In the height of summer -- ten to twelve, with a couple hours down time during the day for breaks and for lunch. Break camp, on trail by 7:30, quit between 5:30 and 7:30 depending on energy level, etc. Useful light till 8:30 or so.

Winter day hikes, 9 to 5. Limited by nightfall at the end, and hard to get to the trailhead before 9. (Long drive to the mountains means I'm getting up at 6 AM anyway.)
