Willow Hollow Trail is a 2.5-mile out-and-back mountain biking route in Utah's Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, within the Forest Service's Pleasant Grove Ranger District. The trail starts at a low point of about 7,562 feet and rises to a high of 8,055 feet, with a total elevation gain of about 477 feet. It's rated moderate, and the climb is split across the route, so you'll have steady ascent both ways. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Alta, Utah, show July highs around 73°F with lows near 50°F, and June and August run only slightly cooler. That station sits about 655 feet higher than the trail's low point, so temperatures on the route run a bit warmer. Salamander Flat Winter, a cross-country skiing area, sits just 0.1 mile away, and the Ridge Connector Trail is 0.2 mile off. For an overnight stay, Altamont campground is about half a mile away and Timpooneke Campground is about a mile away.
