Hidden Valley is a moderate out-and-back hike in Utah's Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, within the Ogden Ranger District. The trail is about 3.6 miles long, with a one-way climb of 1,648 feet from a low point of 5,085 feet to a high of 6,755 feet. The Forest Service manages the land, and the route is natural-surface. The most comfortable stretch for a visit runs from July through October, when typical highs at a nearby weather station reach the mid-70s to the mid-80s and lows stay in the 40s and 50s. That station sits about 1,600 feet below the trail's high point, so expect cooler temperatures up top. The trail is open from July 1 to October 31. Bikes and horses are both allowed, and the route is not accessible. The Rainbow Trail mountain biking route and the Ogden Boulder Field climbing area are each about 0.3 miles away, and Maples Campground lies roughly 3 miles off.
