The elevation gain is about 1000 feet. One can descend the same way, or follow an eastern ridge for 1.2 miles to the Ma Ha Tauk trail, and turn left and return to the trailhead. One can also turn right at Star peak, and in 0.5 miles, meet the Alta Trail. Either take the Alta Trail to the left and descend 1.5 miles to the San Juan road. or turn right and hike 3 miles to the Alta Trailhead at San Juan Point. For most people, the ascent up the warrior trail will take at least 25 minutes.
