The Great Western Trail in Utah is an easy out-and-back hike of about 5 miles, with a low point of 4,908 feet and a high of 5,016 feet. The trail is close to the town of Paradise, about 0.7 miles away, and the one-way climb is only about 95 feet. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall are the best bets. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 67°F and September highs around 76°F, while July climbs to about 88°F and winter brings frequent snow days. Several other outings sit close by. The 9100 South and 200 West hikes are each about 0.6 miles away. Climbers can head to Sea Wall, about 4.7 miles off, and Box Elder Campground is about 7.8 miles away for an overnight stay.
