The Uinta Highline Trail is an expert-level hike in the Evanston-Mountain View Ranger District of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest in Utah, managed by the Forest Service. The trail is an out-and-back route of about 35 miles, with a one-way elevation gain of 3,523 feet. The low point sits at 9,871 feet and the high at 11,603 feet. The trail starts and ends at the same point, so the full round trip covers about 35 miles and 7,000 feet of climbing. That makes it a serious commitment, and it's best suited for experienced hikers. The Highline Spur and the Butterfly Lake climbing area both lie about 0.1 mile from the trail. The Highline mountain biking route is about 0.3 mile away, and the Green Meadow Crags climbing area is about half a mile off. For an overnight stay, Moosehorn campground is about 2.4 miles away.
