Urban hike · Amsterdam metro
5.93 mi · 46 ft up (9.5 km · 15 m up)
6.0 effort mi (9.7 effort km)
Climbing is what makes a hike hard, and flat miles hide it. So every 500 feet of climbing counts as one extra mile (in kilometres: about 95 m of climbing per extra km).
A flat 6-mile (9.7 km) walk is 6.0 effort miles (9.7 effort km). Little Si — 3.7 miles, 1,300 ft up (6.0 km, 395 m) — is 6.3 (10.1). Your legs already knew those two are about the same amount of work.
How the numbers work — the rules behind your plan.
These numbers are estimates. We haven't walked this one ourselves to check them yet.
