Browns Hole Road is a short, easy hike in the Richfield Ranger District of Fishlake National Forest in Utah, managed by the Forest Service. The route is just 0.07 miles long, with a total elevation gain of 47 feet, so it's a quick stop rather than a full-day outing. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Salina run to highs around 80°F in July, with lows near 53°F. That station sits well below the road, so temperatures on the route run cooler. Winter is cold, with January highs around 33°F and lows near 16°F. The hike makes an easy pairing with other outings in the area. Twin Ponds Cua Dispersed campground and Trail 4729, a mountain biking route, are both about 1.2 miles away.
