The Upper Avenues is an easy hike in Utah, set about 0.7 miles from the town of Altus. It is an out-and-back trail of roughly 1.6 miles, with a total elevation gain of about 236 feet, and the route runs from a low point of 7,240 feet to a high of 7,482 feet. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from the nearby Park City weather station show July highs around 80°F with lows near 53°F. That station sits about 580 feet lower than the trail's high point, so temperatures on the upper part of the hike run slightly cooler. The Avenues lies just 0.2 miles away, and Moose Hollow is about 0.7 miles off. For climbing, the Wasatch Back area is about 6 miles away, and Red Pine Lake offers fishing about 6.4 miles away.
