Wild Cattle Hollow is a hard hike in the Price Ranger District of Manti-La Sal National Forest in Utah, managed by the Forest Service. The route is an out-and-back of about 8 miles, with a total elevation gain of 1,669 feet from a low point of 7,953 feet to a high of 9,641 feet. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from the Electric Lake weather station, about 7 miles away, show July highs around 74°F with lows near 41°F, and the station sits roughly 1,260 feet lower than the high point, so temperatures on the summit run cooler. The trail is on natural surface and allows both horses and bikes. The open season runs from June 1 to October 15. The Wild Cattle Hollow Spur and Short Canyon are both within a mile, and Big Rock Group campground is about 2 miles away. Climbers can find Heathens Hideout (The New Boulders) about 4 miles off.
