Skintoe is a 3.1-mile out-and-back hike on natural trail in the Ogden Ranger District of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, about 3 miles from the town of Ogden, Utah. The trail rises from 5,690 feet to 6,106 feet, a climb of about 400 feet, and is rated moderate. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Huntsville Monastery, about 8.6 miles away, show July highs around 90°F and September highs near 79°F. That station sits roughly 960 feet below the high point of this hike, so temperatures up high run cooler. The Forest Service manages the trail, and it is open from about May 15 through November 1. Bikes and horses are allowed, and the trail is not accessible. BALDY RIDGE lies about 0.6 miles away and Causey Reservoir, a climbing area, about 0.7 miles. Bear Hollow is another hike at 1.1 miles. For camping, Willows Campground is about 3.3 miles off.
