Fall Creek is a hard hike in the High Uintas Wilderness, part of the Duchesne Ranger District of Ashley National Forest in northeastern Utah. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail is an out-and-back that climbs about 1,300 feet over roughly 7.8 miles, from a low of about 9,300 feet to a high of about 10,600 feet. The trail is on natural surface, and horses are allowed. Bikes are not. That makes it a good fit for riders on horseback or on foot, and a less practical choice for cyclists. Rock Creek Spur Trail and Kyhv Lake both lie about 1.8 miles away. The Uinta Mountains climbing area is about 3.4 miles off, and Upper Stillwater campground is about 7.7 miles away.
