Trail Canyon is a hard hike in Utah's Manti-La Sal National Forest, within the Ferron Ranger District. The route is an out-and-back of about 3.6 miles, with a one-way elevation gain of 1,292 feet, taking you from a low point of about 7,948 feet to a high of about 9,271 feet. The land is managed by the State Land Board, and the trail surface is natural, with horses allowed. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from the Electric Lake weather station, about 18 miles away, show July highs around 74°F with lows near 41°F, and June and August run close behind. That station sits roughly 900 feet lower than the trail's high point, so temperatures up top run cooler. Nearby, Dairy Canyon offers climbing about 2.3 miles away, and the Littles Creek Loop Trail and Roans Canyon are both hikes within about 2.7 miles. For an overnight stay, Joes Valley Pavilion Group Campground is about 3.5 miles off.
