Upper Box Creek is a 5.6-mile out-and-back hike in the Richfield Ranger District of Fishlake National Forest in Utah, managed by the Forest Service. The trail starts at the Upper Box Creek Trailhead and runs from a low point of 8,882 feet to a high point of 9,309 feet, with an elevation gain of 679 feet. The route is rated moderate, and its natural surface makes it suitable for biking as well as walking. The hike is open year-round, and the trailhead offers a starting point for a day on foot or on a mountain bike. The trail's shape and climb make it a compact outing rather than a long day, and the trail is a good fit for anyone looking to spend a few hours in the high country.
