Little Creek is a hard hike in Utah's Fishlake National Forest, within the Richfield Ranger District, about 6 miles from the town of Richfield. It's an out-and-back route that climbs roughly 2,900 feet from a low of about 8,100 feet to a high of about 11,000 feet. The trail is natural-surface and bikes are allowed, so it works for a two-wheeled outing. The Forest Service manages the land, and the route is open year round. Koosharem Canyon and Scrub Flat both lie about half a mile away, and Doxford Creek is about 1.5 miles off. Monroe Canyon: North Side, a climbing area, is roughly 6 miles away.
