Silvia Hollow is a hard loop hike in the Ogden Ranger District of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest in Utah. The trail is about 6.5 miles long, with a total elevation gain of 1,058 feet, taking you from a low point of about 7,750 feet to a high of about 8,480 feet. The Forest Service manages the land, and the route is open from about May 15 to November 1, with an estimated trip time of about 2.5 hours. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run from highs around 72°F in June to about 82°F in July, and temperatures on the trail run cooler than those figures because the station sits roughly 1,300 feet lower. The trail is natural-surfaced and allows horses and bikes. It is not an accessible route. Several other hikes start within about 2 miles, including the Silvia Powerline Connector Trail, Cave Ridge and Big Spring Overlook. Monte Cristo Campground is about 2.8 miles away.
