Crimson is a hard hike in the Logan Ranger District of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest in northern Utah, about 6 miles from the town of Logan. The trail is an out-and-back that climbs from a low point of about 5,133 feet to a high of about 6,078 feet, with a total elevation gain of about 1,112 feet. The route is natural-surface and not accessible. Bikes are not allowed. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail is open from May 1 through November 30. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Logan run to highs around 88°F in July, with lows near 60°F. That station sits roughly 1,300 feet below the trail's high point, so temperatures on the summit run cooler. Spring Hollow is a hike just 0.1 mile away, and Spring Hollow Campground is about 0.3 mile off. The Promised Land climbing area is about 0.6 mile away, and Guinavah-Malibu Campground is about 1.1 miles away.
