10.76 miles of hiking • 3500' elevation gain •
There are 4 trails to the summit of Townsend. I have never hiked it from the lower TH off of forest road 27 before & it adds approx. 1.2 miles & 600’ to the assent compared to starting @ the upper TH. Trail was in nice condition with a bit of snow on & off the final 1000’ from the summit.
