Bull Pasture is a hard hike in the Price Ranger District of Manti-La Sal National Forest in Utah, managed by the Forest Service. The trail is about 9 miles long, with a one-way climb of roughly 2,400 feet from a low point of about 7,387 feet to a high of about 9,789 feet. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from the Electric Lake weather station, about 10 miles away, show July highs around 74°F with lows near 41°F, and the trail sits higher than that station, so expect cooler temperatures on top. The trail is natural-surface and allows both horses and bikes. Nearby, Heathens Hideout (The New Boulders) is a climbing area about half a mile away, and Little Bear Group campground is about 1.5 miles off. Little Bear Ridge Trail and Lower Little Bear Campground are both within about 2 miles.
