Rocky Ford Trail is a moderate out-and-back hike in Utah's Dixie National Forest, within the Powell Ranger District. The trail is about 5.6 miles long, with a one-way elevation gain of 1,473 feet, taking you from a low point of about 7,839 feet to a high of about 9,329 feet. The Forest Service manages the land. The route is a steady climb, and the higher you go, the more the trail's grade increases. Plan on a full day for the trip, and bring enough water and supplies for the elevation change. Several other trails sit close by. Jones Corral-Table Mountain Road is about 0.7 miles away, and Mule Flat Trail and Mount Dutton Trail are each within about a mile and a half. For fishing, Otter Creek's Fishermans Beach Rec Site is about 8 miles off.
