Bull Hollow is a hard hike in the Duchesne Ranger District of Ashley National Forest in northeastern Utah, about 6.7 miles long with an elevation gain of 480 feet from the low point of 7,746 feet to the high of 8,137 feet. The route is an out-and-back, and the trail surface is natural, which makes for a rougher ride. Bikes are allowed. Summer is the most comfortable time to go.
