Route Description for Pine Valley Trail
The Pine Valley Trail is a gorgeous route east of Kamas, Utah. This trail begins with a creek crossing over Shingle Creek, a tributary of the Provo River. This crossing can be sketchy in the early spring when Shingle Creek swells with the spring runoff. Exercise caution and use good judgment on your creek crossing. If conditions are not within your comfort zone, revisit this trail later in the summer when the water level drops down.
Whether you are staying at one of the campgrounds nearby or looking for an adventure close to town, the Pine Valley trail is a fantastic hike in the western Uintas. This trail is a great place to get out and do some exploring in the Utah wilderness with friends, family, or your favorite adventure pup.
To hike the Pine Valley Trail, begin at the Pine Valley Campground. Cross over Shingle Creek and then follow the west bank of the Provo River south through Pine Valley. Approximately 3.2 km in, the trail will climb up to a high point. Head up to the overlook to earn some incredible views before turning around and heading back the way you came.
If you are looking for more to explore in the area, check out the North Fork Loop just across the road.
