Dawns Trail is an easy hike in Utah, about a mile from Park City, the nearest town. The trail is an out-and-back, 1.8 miles long, with an elevation gain of 559 feet. It starts at a low point of about 6,954 feet and reaches a high of about 7,539 feet. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Park City show July highs around 80°F with lows near 53°F, while winter highs hover around 33°F. That station sits roughly 640 feet lower than the trail's high point, so temperatures up top run cooler. The trail is short and easy, and two other hikes, Dawn's Connect and Spiro Trail, both start within about a tenth of a mile. White Pine Lake is about 1.6 miles away, and climbers can find Empire Pass about 3.6 miles out.
