Combo is an easy out-and-back hike on Bureau of Land Management land in Utah, within the BLM's Vernal Field Office. The trail is short, about 3 miles long, and rises from 5,274 to 5,340 feet, a total climb of 78 feet, which makes it an easy walk for anyone stopping by the area. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Vernal show May highs around 70°F and September highs near 76°F, while July peaks around 89°F and winter brings frequent snow days. Bikes are allowed on this natural-surfaced route, but horses are not. The trail sits close to several other outings. The hike And Cookies! is just 0.2 miles away, and the mountain biking at Festicle is under a mile off. Jackalope and Fire Sale are both within about a mile and a half.
