Gwt Alt (Um Plateau) is a 6-mile out-and-back hike in the Fremont River Ranger District of Fishlake National Forest in Utah, managed by the Forest Service. The trail rises from about 9,500 feet to roughly 10,600 feet, with a total elevation gain of 1,047 feet. It is a hard hike, and the route is natural-surface rather than developed. Bikes are allowed, and the trail is not accessible. The climb is one way, so the round trip adds about 2,094 feet of elevation gain. Sheep Valley Poison Pasture and the Great Western Trail - Utah both lie within a third of a mile, and Emerald Lake is under a mile away. For an overnight base, Harves River Cua Dispersed is about 6 miles off.
