Notch Mountain is a hard out-and-back hike in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, on the Heber-Kamas Ranger District in Utah. The trail is 17 miles long, with an elevation gain of 1,626 feet from the low point at 9,655 feet to the high point at 10,626 feet. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail is natural surfaced, not accessible, and open from June 1 to October 31. Horses are allowed, but bikes are not. That makes it a ride for horseback riders or hikers, not mountain bikers. The route starts at the low point and climbs to the high point and back. The climb is spread over the full length of the trail, so the whole trip covers the 1,626 feet of gain. Several other destinations sit close by. Bald Mountain, a mountain biking area, is half a mile away, and The Pass Crag and Cobrazone, both climbing areas, are each about 0.7 miles off. For a longer stay, Lost Creek Campground is about 1.2 miles away.
