Yeah, this is true! Baptist and Chute are a great way to spend a day out in the desert.
The day that we visited we were moving quite slow. We were past the 8 hour mark when we arrived at the Chute/Fault junction. The three of us were checked out mentally and ready for some cold beer. Don't care who ya are, candyass or hardman , once you and your group have "checked out", a scenic stroll in the desert will soon become a death march. We were all acutely aware that we had 2.7 uphill miles back to camp, and we simply weren't in the mood.
FWIW, the Baptist/Chute/Fault loop is 8.4 miles. The Baptist/North Upper Chute loop is only 4.4 miles.

I'm learning that actual time on the hoof has more to do with physical exertion than miles traveled (at least to me).
I can do a easy 8 hour/6 mile slot with the family or a hardcore 8 hour/12 mile/R rated slot with my friends and at the end of the day I'm 8 hours tired and the mileage/degree of difficulty doesn't really mean a lot to me.
