Clear Creek is an 8.6-mile moderate scenic climb into the Fishlake National Forest of Central Utah. The trail is ideal for stock-type 4x4s and overland vehicles with high ground clearance and durable off-road tires. There are many deep washouts and tight switchbacks. The long climb requires four-wheel drive. The dense foliage climbing through the canyon starkly contrasts the open meadows and aspen above 9000 feet. At lower elevations, there is limited camping. The best camping is higher up in elevation. Clear Creek's upper section is closed to motor vehicles from 01/01 to 04/15 every winter.
