As it is currently designated, the Ring the Peak Trail is approximately 63 miles in length and can be accessed from various locations. Not all access points are accessible by automobile and some require a 4-wheel drive vehicle to reach. 

All segments allow hiking but some are closed during the winter season while some do not allow mountain bikes or horses. Much of the terrain is above 8,000 feet in elevation and cell phone coverage is spotty to non-existent.
