Cherry Creek is a hard hike in northern Utah, about 3.3 miles from the town of Richmond. The route is an out-and-back that climbs from roughly 6,055 feet to about 9,390 feet, with a total elevation gain of 3,454 feet over a distance of about 10.4 miles. The trail is natural-surface and not accessible. Horses are allowed, but bikes are not. That makes it a ride for pack animals rather than mountain bikes. The Cherry Creek Trail lies just 0.3 miles away, and the Cherry Creek Boulders climbing area is 0.4 miles off. For an overnight base, High Creek Campground is about 3.5 miles away and Smithfield Campground about 3.9 miles.
