Phelps Brook ATV Trail is a hard mountain biking route on Forest Service land in the Heber-Kamas Ranger District of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest in Utah. The trail is an out-and-back of about 3.5 miles, starting at a low point of about 8,680 feet and reaching a high of about 9,561 feet with a total climb of about 873 feet. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical July and August highs reach about 77°F with lows near 48°F, based on averages from a nearby weather station at Moon Lake. That station sits well below the trail, so temperatures on the route run cooler. Nearby options include Buckboard Creek, a hike about 2 miles away, and Trail Hollow Trail at about 3 miles. Wolf Creek Campground lies about 3 miles off, and the Duchesne River offers canoeing roughly 7.6 miles away.
