Naomi Peak and the Tony Grove corridor

The key trail designation for planning here is Mt. Naomi Peak National Recreation Trail #005, a ground-surface trail in the Logan Ranger District of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest. Its broader corridor runs from High Creek Canyon to Green Canyon via Tony Grove. That distinction matters when planning a Naomi Peak outing via Tony Grove Lake: the listed 23.12-mile length describes Trail #005, not a lake-to-summit round trip. Treat the Tony Grove outing and the full canyon-to-canyon trail as different planning tasks. Logan, in northern Utah’s Wasatch Range region, provides regional context for the trip. Before setting an itinerary, confirm the exact Tony Grove starting location, summit connection, and intended turnaround with the district rather than using the full trail mileage as a day-hike estimate.

Choosing the scale of the outing

Trail #005 supports day hiking, backpacking, and horseback riding, giving this corridor a broader role than a single summit hike. High Creek Trailhead and Green Canyon Trailhead are its named starting points, while Tony Grove lies along the route between the two canyons. For a Tony Grove-focused day, establish the appropriate trail segment and return plan before committing to a summit objective. For a longer trip, use the full corridor as the planning framework and verify connections and transportation separately. Carry navigation that distinguishes the intended outing from the entire numbered trail. Because horseback riding is also an established use, be prepared to share the trail with horses and riders; communicate clearly and allow room for safe passing.

Conditions, winter use, and fire care

Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing are also listed activities for Trail #005, but that does not establish winter access to Tony Grove or describe conditions on a particular segment. Match equipment and turnaround decisions to the conditions expected for the intended outing, and confirm access with the Logan Ranger District before travel. Carry water, food, weather protection, and navigation appropriate to the route rather than relying on the destination name alone. Fire rules are specific in developed areas: at campgrounds, picnic areas, and trailheads, campfires are permitted only in Forest Service-constructed permanent cement or metal fire rings. Firewood containing nails, screws, or other metal hardware is prohibited on the forest. Check current fire restrictions as well; the presence of a ring is not a substitute for that check.

Route options

  • Tony Grove segment of Trail #005

    Focus planning on the Tony Grove portion of the Mt. Naomi Peak trail corridor. Confirm the lake-based starting point, summit connection, and turnaround before treating it as a defined summit itinerary.

  • Mt. Naomi Peak National Recreation Trail #00523.12 miles

    The full trail corridor runs from High Creek Canyon to Green Canyon via Tony Grove. Its listed length applies to the broader trail, not a Tony Grove Lake summit round trip. Hiking, backpacking, and horseback riding are established uses.

Sample itineraries

  • Tony Grove Day Hike · 1 day

    Plan a turnaround hike on the Tony Grove portion of Mt. Naomi Peak National Recreation Trail #005. Confirm local access and the intended route with the Logan Ranger District before departure. Choose a turnaround that matches conditions and the group's pace.

  • High Creek Trailhead Day Hike · 1 day

    Explore Trail #005 from High Creek Trailhead as an alternative approach to the broader trail corridor. Return to the same trailhead rather than assuming a through-route fits one day. This is a separate access option, not the Tony Grove Lake approach.

Seasonal conditions

Spring

When access and trail conditions allow

For this northern Utah mountain setting, check snow and ground conditions before planning a walking trip. Do not assume the Tony Grove approach is ready for hiking simply because lower elevations are accessible.

Summer

During suitable hiking conditions

Plan for mountain weather, carry water, and check current fire restrictions. The trail accommodates hiking and horseback riding; stay attentive to other users.

Fall

Before conditions exceed the group's equipment and experience

Carry warm layers and leave enough daylight for the return. Check current mountain weather and access rather than relying on a fixed end to the hiking season.

Winter

When access and snow conditions suit the planned activity

Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing are listed activities for Trail #005. That does not establish winter access or suitability for every segment. Confirm the Tony Grove approach before committing to a winter outing.

Permits, fees & closures

Confirm current permit requirements and access rules with the Logan Ranger District.
