Daves Hollow Snow Trail is a short mountain biking route in the Powell Ranger District of Dixie National Forest in southern Utah, managed by the Forest Service. It sits about 1.5 miles from the trailhead, with the Main Snow Trail just 0.1 mile away. The trail is a short climb of about 1.5 miles, rising roughly 73 feet from a low point of 7,728 feet to a high of 7,804 feet. That makes it an easy addition to a day spent exploring the network of snow trails in this part of the district. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Bryce Canyon National Park show July highs around 80°F with lows near 52°F, while winter highs stay in the upper 30s. Main Snow Trail is right next door, and Rubys Inn 3 Snow Trail and Rubys Inn 2 Snow Trail are both within a mile. For an overnight stay, North Campground and Sunset Campground are each about 1.9 miles away.
