Tie Fork Road is a moderate out-and-back hike in Utah's Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, within the Spanish Fork Ranger District. The route covers 8.2 miles and gains about 708 feet in elevation, with the low point at 6,129 feet and the high at 6,852 feet. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. A nearby weather station at Scofield Dam, about 16 miles away, records typical July and August highs of 78°F with lows around 45°F. That station sits higher than the road, so temperatures on the route may run a little warmer.

Renegade campground, roughly 9 miles away, offers a place to stay, and Soldier Creek, a canoeing spot, is about 6 miles away.
