Crestwood Gulch Trail is an out-and-back hike of about 1.8 miles that rises roughly 887 feet from its low point of 5,464 feet to a high of 6,399 feet. It sits just under a mile from the town of Mount Olympus, Utah, and is rated easy. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from the Mtn Dell Dam weather station, about 4.8 miles away, show May highs around 70°F and September highs near 79°F. That station sits nearly 1,000 feet lower than the trail's summit, so temperatures up top run cooler. The trail makes a good base for exploring the surrounding area. The Scrubby Connector Trail starts about 0.1 mile away, and the Reef and Grandeur Peak climbing areas are both about half a mile off. Lake Florence, roughly 7.8 miles away, is the closest place to fish.
