The East Fork Whiterocks River hike is a long, hard outing in the Ashley National Forest's Vernal Ranger District in Utah, an out-and-back of about 16.5 miles with a total elevation gain of about 1,323 feet. It rises from a low point of about 9,543 feet to a high of about 10,567 feet, and the route is open year-round. The trail is on natural surface, and it allows both horses and bikes. That makes it a flexible choice for riders and pack animals, though the length and climb make it a serious commitment. Several other trails lie within a couple of miles. Reader Basin is about a third of a mile away, Workman Lake and the Uinta Highline Trail are each about a mile and a quarter off, and Paradise Guard Station, a campground, is roughly 8.5 miles away.
