About this trail
Windy Pass North (USFS trail 8206) runs 1.6 mi through Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest in Utah. The figures here are pulled from the official US Forest Service trail data for Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, covering the trail's mileage, tread, grade band, and the bike and e-bike uses the agency lists as designated. Underfoot, the trail is recorded as native material. USFS slope data puts it in the Easy band (grade band +5-8%), meaning a gentle climb — keep in mind this measures steepness, not trail technicality. Bike use is designated as allowed, typically Jun–Oct. No e-bike class (1, 2 or 3) is designated on this trail in the USFS data, so treat it as a non-motorized route unless a posted order says otherwise. The route is mapped as USFS Trail Class 1 on the agency's 1-to-5 development scale, where 1 is the most primitive, minimally maintained tread and 5 is the most developed. Treat this as a planning reference rather than a live conditions report, and verify any time-sensitive closure or order with the ranger district that manages Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest.
