Upper Abbotts is a 4.7-mile out-and-back hike in the Marble Mountain Wilderness, part of the Salmon River Ranger District of Klamath National Forest in California. The trail climbs from about 4,845 feet to 6,373 feet, a gain of 1,565 feet, and is rated moderate. The Forest Service manages the land. The route is a natural-surface trail that starts close to Abbott Lake, about 0.1 mile away, and Horse Range Lake Trail lies about half a mile off. That makes it easy to pair with either of those shorter outings. For a longer trip, the North Fork Salmon River offers canoeing about 5.7 miles away, and Redbank campground sits roughly 9 miles out.
