Riverside Nature is an easy, short out-and-back hike in the Logan Ranger District of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest in northern Utah. The trail is managed by the Forest Service and sits within its natural surface, which makes it a simple walk with a low climb of about 130 feet over a total length of about 2 miles. The trail's low point is at roughly 5,035 feet, and its high point is about 5,146 feet. The most comfortable months for a visit are typically late spring through early fall. At a nearby weather station in Logan, typical average highs range from about 67°F in May to about 88°F in July, with September easing back to around 76°F. Winters are cold, with typical January averages near 32°F for highs and 18°F for lows. The trail opens from about May 1 to October 31, and Spring Hollow Campground lies just 0.2 miles away. Other nearby options include the Spring Hollow hike and the Crimson mountain biking route, each about 0.4 miles off, and the Promised Land climbing area about half a mile away.
