Peter, I've been there several times and planning on hiking it in November if not late October too.

How hard is the hike? Could I drive up a Thursday night, camp, and then start the trail Friday morning, do about 13 miles on Fri and Sat, then come out early Sunday morning?

It's a moderate hike. Yes, your plan will work fine. Albert Pike campground has heated bathroom and showers. It is said the clockwise direction is easiest.

I've been there once, this time of the year, when the Little Missouri was not passable. Before you come out, do check the levels. The Buffalo is up a rare 8 feet right now. This has been the most wet year in my memory. It would not surprise me if Little MO is swole! A BPLer from TN should have just left the loop.
