I would not recommend going in the stark, most busy season of summer

How long is the hike from the Hwy 80 parking area to the top where the Channels are?

Round trip, you're looking at about 6-7 miles. It can be somewhat of a challenge going up, but coming back is a breeze. Recommend going earlier in the day during the Summer months as there is little to no shade on the majority of the path.
