Shingle Creek is a hard hike in the Beaver Ranger District of Fishlake National Forest in Utah, managed by the Forest Service. The route is an out-and-back that climbs from about 6,934 feet to about 9,421 feet, a total gain of 2,479 feet over 7.6 miles. The trail is natural-surfaced and allows bikes, so it works for hikers and mountain bikers alike. It is open year-round, and the Forest Service lists it as a trail in the National Forest System. The climb is a significant one. The route starts at a lower point of about 6,934 feet and rises to a high point of about 9,421 feet. That makes it a challenging outing, and the distance and elevation gain mean planning for the full day. Several other destinations sit within a short drive.
