Utah trails · Lofty Lake Loop
A 6.3-mile out-and-back in Utah, with 931 ft of climbing. Reaches Picturesque Lake and other lake/viewpoint destinations. Managed by the U.S. Forest Service.
The climbing leans toward the first third: 51% of the ascent falls between mile 0.0 and mile 2.1. It gives back about 1,620 ft along the way, so it rolls rather than climbing steadily.
