Hi how long from start to hotel ruins ? 15 -20 min ?

Definitely more than that — it's about 2 miles uphill to the ruins from the start. If you're a fast hiker, I'd say maybe 45min to an hour. I'm slow so it takes me longer.
Can you give me an idea, please, how long the trek to the top is? One mile? Five miles? And (this is probably a stupid question) is it all up hill, or are there level stretches too?
A:
The hike is all up hill with limited level stretches until you get to the top and it's about a 5 mi trek round trip (up and back down)
