Random walk on a square to the opposite corner

Four corners of a square are labeled A,B,C,DA, B, C, D in order around the edge, so the neighbors of AA are BB and DD, and CC is the corner diagonally opposite AA. A token sits at AA. Each step it moves to one of the two adjacent corners, each with probability 12\tfrac12. It stops on reaching CC.

What is the expected number of steps for the token to reach CC?
