Reese Creek is a 9-mile out-and-back hike on Bureau of Land Management land in Utah's Richfield Field Office. The route starts at about 8,000 feet and climbs to a high point of 10,284 feet, with a total elevation gain of 2,259 feet. The trail is natural-surfaced, and bicycles are allowed. The hike is rated hard, and it works well for a full-day outing on land that stays open year-round. The climb is long and steep, so plan for a day with plenty of time and good footwork. Cedar Creek lies about 2 miles away, and the Peavine-Thousand Lake and Lakes hikes are each about 2.2 miles off. For an overnight stay, Elkhorn Campground is roughly 4.8 miles from the trail.
