Rock Creek is a 5.4-mile out-and-back hike in the Logan Ranger District of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest in northern Utah. The trail rises from a low point of 7,377 feet to a high of 7,650 feet, with a total elevation gain of 369 feet. It is a moderate route, and the trail surface is natural. The trail is open from May 1 through October 31. Bikes and horses are both allowed, and the trail is not accessible. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Randolph, Utah, run to highs around 82°F in July and 80°F in August, with lows in the mid-40s. That station sits about 1,360 feet lower than the trail's high point, so temperatures on the trail run cooler. Rock Creek Overlook and Baxter Sawmill are both about 1.9 miles away, and Pole Hollow is about 3.6 miles off. Saddle Creek, a paddling spot, is about 5.7 miles away.
