Willow Creek Trail is a short, easy out-and-back hike in the Cedar City Ranger District of Dixie National Forest in southern Utah, managed by the Forest Service. The trail is about 0.4 miles long, with a total elevation gain of about 48 feet, so it's a gentle walk that can be done in a few minutes. The route starts and ends at a low point of about 7,113 feet and reaches a high of about 7,171 feet. It's a simple, low-effort outing, and the Forest Service lists it as an easy hike. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall are the best bets.
