Davis Lakes is a hard hike in the High Uintas Wilderness, part of the Roosevelt Ranger District of Ashley National Forest in Utah. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail is an out-and-back route of about 8.7 miles with a one-way elevation gain of 625 feet, from a low point of about 10,763 feet to a high of about 11,213 feet. The trail is natural-surface and allows horses, but bikes are not permitted. That makes it a good fit for riders on horseback or on foot, and the route stays within the wilderness. Several other destinations sit close by. Divide Lake is about 1.2 miles away, and Kidney Lakes and the Fox-Queant Pass Trail are each about 1.7 miles off. For fishing, Kabell Lake is roughly 5.9 miles away.
