Huashan Day Trip

Hi,
I need to check whether I can do a day trip (from early morning till evening) in Huashan? Will I be able to cover the peaks?

Possible to have one day trip to Huashan. It has five peaks and I think you do not have enough time to cover all of them. And you need to take cable up to the North Peak first.

Well you can walk to the North peak instead of using the cable car. It took me about 2hours last time to get to the top with no stops. If you take breaks increase that to about 2hr 40min.
Once at the North peak you can eat lunch in the restaurant then continue to the top peak. I haven't been but I've been told it can be a 5hr return walk. Once you are back to north peak you can buy a cable car ticket back down.
So up to you. Walking the whole thing is about a day (we plan to stay the night next time) or if you use the cable car to the top and back down you can cover it in half a day. Just avoid national holidays! The cue for the cable car can be 3hrs long on those days
