Elevation along the outing
Full round trip
Start: Mapped parking / recreation access · Turn around: Longworth Lookout (7.0 km) · Finish: Mapped parking / recreation access (14.0 km mapped).
Approximate ground elevation from a 90 m terrain model. Distance follows the mapped itinerary and may differ from published walking distance. This is a terrain-model profile, not a surveyed measurement. Any ascent total is identified separately with its own source or estimation method.
How the route order was checked
The named Longworth Lookout Trail starts next to a mapped parking node and ends beside the named Longworth Fire Lookout building. The club describes an ascent to the ridge followed by roughly 750 m to the lookout and return on the same route. Both ends are independently identified rather than inferred from elevation.
