Cyclone Pass is a 5.5-mile out-and-back hike in the High Uintas Wilderness, part of the Heber-Kamas Ranger District of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest in Utah. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail is a natural-surface route with no designated bike access. The pass rises from about 10,300 feet to about 11,090 feet, a climb of roughly 980 feet one way. It is a hard hike, and the route is an out-and-back rather than a loop. The trail sits close to several other destinations. Four Lakes Basin, a mountain biking area, is about 0.3 miles away, and the Hades-Rocky Sea Pass Trail is about 0.4 miles off. Carolyn Lake, a fishing spot, is about 0.8 miles away, and the Uinta Mountains climbing area is about 1.8 miles away.
