"And Cookies!" is an easy out-and-back hike on Bureau of Land Management land in the Vernal Field Office in Utah, about 2 miles from Vernal. The route is 4.3 miles long, with a low point of 5,277 feet and a high of 5,379 feet, and it gains about 136 feet of elevation. The trail is natural-surface and allows bikes, so it works for hikers and riders alike. Horses are not permitted. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from the nearby Vernal weather station show May highs around 70°F and September highs around 76°F, while July averages about 89°F and winter brings highs near freezing and a few snowy days each month. The Combo hike starts just 0.2 miles away, and the Festicle and Got Milk mountain biking trails are within about a mile. The Jackalope hike is about 1.5 miles off.
