Little Valley Road is an easy out-and-back hike of about a mile in the Heber-Kamas Ranger District of Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest in Utah. It is managed by the Forest Service and sits within the district's own boundaries. The trail is short and gentle. It starts at a low point of about 7,048 feet and reaches a high of about 7,140 feet, with an elevation gain of roughly 80 feet over the course of the route. That makes it an easy walk for a quick stop on a longer outing in the area. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from the nearby Sundance weather station run to highs around 81°F and lows near 58°F in July, with temperatures up high running a bit cooler than those figures. Several other destinations lie close by. The Little Valley - Sheep Canyon Trail is under a mile away, and North Rattlesnake Road is about a mile off. Main Creek, a canoeing spot, is roughly 3.7 miles away, and Balsam campground is about 7.7 miles away.
