Utah trails · East Fork Pinto Lake
A 6.3-mile out-and-back in Utah, with 979 ft of climbing. Reaches Bedground Lake and other lake destinations. Managed by the U.S. Forest Service.
Most of the climbing sits in the middle third — 66% of the ascent, between mile 2.1 and mile 4.2. It gives back about 431 ft along the way, so it rolls rather than climbing steadily.
On August 31, 2026 — the day this page was generated — first light reaches this trailhead at 6:20 a.m., the sun rises at 6:49 a.m. and sets at 7:57 p.m., and the last usable light fades about 8:25 p.m. (MDT) — 13 h 08 min of daylight. At about 2.7 mph plus 30 minutes per 1,000 feet of climbing, the 12.7-mile round trip takes roughly 5 h 41 min, so leaving the trailhead at sunrise puts you back around 12:29 p.m. — 7 h 28 min before sunset.
