Upper Loose Moose is a short, easy hike in Utah, about 0.7 miles from Park City. The trail is an out-and-back that covers roughly 0.36 miles, with a one-way climb of about 16 feet from a low point of 7,760 feet to a high of 7,797 feet. It's a quick stop for anyone already in town. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Park City show July highs around 80°F with lows near 53°F, while winter highs sit around 33°F. That station sits about 900 feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the hike run a little cooler. The Upper Loose mountain biking area is just 0.1 mile away, and Johns Trail is 0.2 mile off. White Pine Lake, about 2.2 miles away, offers fishing, and Jordanelle State Park McHenry Campground, about 4.2 miles away, is the closest place to camp.
