The Ridgeline SnoMo Marked hike is an expert-level out-and-back route in the Heber-Kamas Ranger District of Utah's Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, managed by the Forest Service. The nearest town is Gilluly, about 8 miles away. The route is roughly 23 miles long, with a one-way climb of about 1,400 feet and a total round-trip gain of about 4,000 feet. It starts at an elevation of about 8,850 feet and reaches a high point of about 9,515 feet. The climb is steady, and the steepest stretch comes at about 10 miles in, with a grade of 18 percent. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Scofield put July highs around 74°F with lows near 48°F, while winter highs there typically run in the low 50s. That station sits a few hundred feet lower than the route's high point, so temperatures on top run cooler. Buffalo Canyon is about 1.5 miles away, and the Willow Creek South Trail is about 2 miles off. Renegade campground lies about 5 miles away, and Soldier Creek campground is about 9 miles away.
