Petty Mountain Loop is an easy 1.9-mile out-and-back hike in the Roosevelt Ranger District of Ashley National Forest in Utah, about 1.8 miles from its trailhead. The trail gains about 282 feet of elevation over the course of the trip, with a low point around 10,450 feet and a high near 10,738 feet. It is a short, low-elevation outing that works well as a quick day on foot or on a mountain bike, since bikes are allowed and the surface is natural. The loop sits on Forest Service land within the Roosevelt Ranger District and is open year-round. That makes it a flexible choice for any season. For a longer outing, the PC-HC Cutoff Trail lies about 1.2 miles away, and the Center Park Trail is roughly 1.9 miles off. Toquer Lake is about 2.2 miles from the loop, and Moon Lake campground is about 4.4 miles away for anyone planning an overnight stay.
