Whiskey Creek is an easy out-and-back hike of about 2.7 miles in Utah's Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, on the Evanston-Mountain View Ranger District. The trail gains about 660 feet, from roughly 9,136 feet at the lower end to 9,810 feet at the high point, and the Forest Service manages the land. The route is natural-surfaced and allows bikes, and it is not an accessible trail. Summer through early fall is the most comfortable stretch for a visit, with the trail open from July 1 to October 31. Sulphur Campground sits about a tenth of a mile away. Within a few miles you'll find the Mosquito Wall climbing area, the Stone Garden mountain biking spot, and Beaver View Campground.
