Bountiful is a climbing area in the Salt Lake Ranger District of Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest in northern Utah, about 1.6 miles from the Bountiful Bench weather station. The Forest Service manages the land. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Bountiful Bench station run to highs around 78°F in June and 87°F in July, with no snow days from June through August. That station sits well below the climbing area, so temperatures up top run cooler. The Bountiful B Trail and Deuel Creek Trail both lie within a quarter mile. Buckland Ridge and the Bountiful Peak Campground are about a mile and five miles away.
