One morning a hiker started hiking up a mountain trail at 8am. He maintained a steady pace of 1.5 miles per hour (mph). When he reached the summit, he spent 12h meditating. He then walked down the same path at a steady pace of 4.5 mph, and reached the starting point at noon the next day. How long was the trail?
