Boar Hole is a moderate out-and-back hike in Utah's Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, within the Logan Ranger District. The trail runs about 3.9 miles round trip, rising from 5,745 feet to 6,874 feet, a climb of 1,113 feet. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical July averages from a nearby weather station in Laketown run to a high of 81°F and a low of 51°F, with no snow days. That station sits roughly 900 feet lower than the trail's high point, so temperatures up top run cooler. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail is natural-surface. Bikes and horses are allowed. The route is not accessible. Pig Hole and Sow Hole are both hikes within a half mile, and Hardware Wall offers climbing at about half a mile. Spring Campground, about 1.4 miles away, is the closest place to camp.
