Candland Mountain is a moderate out-and-back hike in the Price Ranger District of Manti-La Sal National Forest in Utah. The trail is about 5.8 miles long, with a total elevation gain of 721 feet, taking you from a low point around 9,720 feet to a high of about 10,244 feet. The Forest Service manages the land, and the route is on natural surface, with both horses and bikes allowed. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Scofield run from highs in the mid-70s in July to around 72 in August, while temperatures at the summit run cooler than that station's figures. The station sits well below the high point, so expect cooler conditions on top. The trip runs from June 1 to October 15. Cleveland Reservoir campground is about 1.4 miles away, and the Lake Canyon #15 and #16 North End hikes are within 2 miles. The Chute Group Campground is about 2 miles off.
