North Fork Loop Description
The North Fork Loop is a popular hike in the Western Uintas. This trail crosses two creeks that can be flooded out in the early spring. We recommend saving this route for the summer or fall when the water levels are more manageable. This loop makes an excellent route for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing in the winter. No matter what time of year you visit, the North Fork Loop is always beautiful and always a great place to spend an afternoon enjoying nature with loved ones.
Beginning at the North Fork Trailhead, cross over Highway 150 and follow the path northeast to hike the loop counterclockwise. Stay left at the divides in the trail to make your way back to the highway along the loop. When you find yourself back at the highway, cross safely and make your way east along the road back to the trailhead where you began.
