Full Monty is an easy, short loop hike on Bureau of Land Management land in Utah's Vernal Field Office, about 2.3 miles long and roughly 160 feet of elevation gain. The trail starts and ends at a low point of about 5,835 feet and reaches a high of about 6,046 feet. The route is a loop, so you return to your starting point. The most comfortable months are typically June and September, when typical averages from a nearby weather station run from highs around 79°F in June to about 74°F in September, with lows in the upper 40s. That station sits about 8 miles away and about 400 feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the trail run slightly cooler. Bikes are allowed on this natural-surfaced trail, but horses are not. The hike takes about an hour, and the closest neighbors are the Racetrack and Skull Valley hikes, both under 3 miles away.
