Order Canyon Trail is a 4-mile out-and-back hike in the Sanpete Ranger District of Manti-La Sal National Forest in central Utah, managed by the Forest Service. The trail is rated hard, and it climbs roughly 4,094 feet from its low point of 6,835 feet to the high point of 8,886 feet. The steepest stretch comes around 0.6 miles in at about 42% grade. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 80°F with lows near 53°F, though that station sits well below the trail, so temperatures on the route run cooler. Bikes are allowed, and the trail surface is natural. Olsen Canyon lies about 0.4 miles away, and Order Mountain is about 2.4 miles away. Twin Lake Campground, about 4.4 miles off, offers a place to stay. Paddlers can find Salina Creek about 9.5 miles away.
