Hatch Spring is an easy out-and-back hike in the Ogden Ranger District of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest in Utah, about 2 miles long with a total elevation gain of about 400 feet. The trail runs from a low point of about 8,060 feet to a high point of about 8,500 feet, and it is a natural-surface trail that is open to bikes and horses. It is not an accessible trail. The most comfortable months for a visit are typically June and September, when typical averages from a nearby weather station show highs around 72°F and 70°F. That station sits roughly 1,300 feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the spring run cooler. The trail is open from about May 15 to November 1. Bountiful Overlook is about 0.8 miles away, and Neponset Spring and Big Spring Overlook are each within about 1.4 miles. For an overnight stay, Monte Cristo Campground is about 4.5 miles away.
