Tufts Creek is a hard hike in the Logan Ranger District of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest in northern Utah, about 13.5 miles long with a one-way elevation gain of 1,760 feet. The trail runs out and back, starting at a low point of about 6,773 feet and reaching a high of about 8,555 feet. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail is natural-surfaced. Bikes and horses are allowed, and the route is not accessible. The open season runs from June 1 to November 30. That makes summer and early fall the most comfortable time to go, when the trail is open and the weather is at its mildest. Nearby, Temple Canyon Winter Sports is about 2 miles away and Temple Peak Trail about 3 miles. Rex Reservoir is about 4 miles off, and Lewis M. Turner Campground is about 6 miles away.
