Clayton Peak Trail is a short, out-and-back route on the Salt Lake Ranger District of Utah's national forest. The trail is about 1.5 miles long, and it gains roughly 621 feet from a low point of 10,112 feet to a high of 10,709 feet on Clayton Peak. The peak makes the natural high point of the climb, and the trail's short length makes it a compact outing for anyone already exploring the surrounding area. The trail starts at a point close to several other destinations. The 10420 Trail lies just 0.1 mile away, and Bloods Lake Trail is about 0.4 mile off. Climbers can reach the Guardsman area within half a mile. For a longer stay, Redman Campground sits about 2 miles away.
