Ricks Canyon is a moderate out-and-back hike in the Logan Ranger District of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest in northern Utah. The route is about 7.6 miles long, with a total elevation gain of 1,814 feet, taking you from a low point of about 5,612 feet to a high of about 7,439 feet. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Laketown show July highs around 81°F with lows near 51°F, and September still runs in the low 70s. That station sits roughly 1,450 feet below the canyon's high point, so temperatures up top run cooler. Nearby, Little Ricks Canyon is about 2.3 miles away and Bear Hollow about 3.3 miles. Lodge Campground, about 4.1 miles off, offers a place to stay, and Hardware Wall, a climbing area, is about 4.4 miles away.
