Mead's Rim is an easy 2.4-mile loop hike on Bureau of Land Management land in Utah, within the Price Field Office. The trail rises about 564 feet from a low point of 5,782 feet to a high of 6,376 feet. The climb is gentle and natural-surfaced, and the route is short enough to fit into a single outing. It works well for a quick walk or a ride, since the trail is open to bikes. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run from highs around 71°F in May to about 77°F in September, with July peaking near 90°F and winter highs around 35°F. Several other outings sit close by. The Imbatween mountain biking area is about 0.1 mile away, and the Floating Rocks and Therapy hikes are each about 0.2 mile off. The Price River, roughly 5 miles away, offers canoeing.
