Luke's Trail is a short, easy hike on Bureau of Land Management land in the Price Field Office, about 2.4 miles from Carbonville, Utah. The route is a loop of roughly 2.8 miles, with a total elevation gain of about 262 feet, so it works well for a quick outing close to town. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Price show May highs around 71°F and September highs around 77°F, while July averages about 90°F and January highs sit near 35°F. Bikes are allowed on the trail, but horses are not. The surface is natural, so plan on a dirt or rough path rather than a developed road. Several other hikes start right around the trail, including Bonus Loop and Dick's Cutoff, each about 0.1 mile away, and Imbatween at about 0.4 mile. Climbers can head to Wood Hill, about 4.3 miles off.
