Mickey Canyon St is a 12.5-mile out-and-back hike in Nevada's Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, within the Bridgeport Ranger District. The trail rises from a low of about 5,011 feet to a high of about 6,111 feet, a climb of about 1,022 feet one way, on natural surface. The route is rated hard. It is open year-round, and bikes are allowed. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at 5,000 feet show May highs around 74°F and October highs around 69°F, while July averages about 93°F. That station sits roughly 1,100 feet below the trail's high point, so temperatures up high run cooler. Mickey Canyon Spring and Micky Canyon Trail both lie within a quarter mile of the route. Drainage End Trail and Wilson Canyon 4 St are each about 3 miles away.
