Description
Added by Eric Bennett
Donut Falls is an out-and-back hike to an amazingly beautiful and picturesque waterfall. This trail, located in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, is good for all seasons with easy access to the trail.
The Trail
Follow the trail for just a little bit and when it forks, stay to the left and you will arrive to Donut Falls. Once at the waterfall, climb up the rocks to get to the cave at the top, which is not visible from the bottom. To take pictures inside of the cave, you will most likely get your feet wet.
This is a really short hike, so it's great if you are short on time and want to see something amazing.
Falls Coordinates: 40.629722, -111.654722
Getting There
Coming from the I-215, turn left on Big Cottonwood Road and the parking lot will be about nine miles up the road on your right. Usually the gate is closed, so park here and follow the rest of the road on foot until you get to a trailhead with restrooms on the left hand side.

Perfect for beginners or children. Very fun little rewarding hike.

Great family hike. The last section is not easy but a lot of fun if you like climbing on rock.
