This 4-mile round trip hike gets you to the base of the waterfallThis trail is predominately shaded and stays close to the creakSince the falls are in a watershed area, your dog unfortunately has to stay homeIf you're up Once you're up to the top, there's a lake where you can relax

This is a very scenic hike that includes walking over a bridge above a flowing river, walking past a majestic lake and eventually reaching a waterfall. Be careful because the waterfall is very powerful and the trail leading up to it is a little steep. You can feel the mist from the waterfall and can hike up a little further to the top of the waterfall if you want to dip your feet into the water. There is no swimming or fishing at the lake since it is Sandy's water supply. Along the hike, you get to see awesome views of the Salt Lake valley. A good portion of the hike isn't too strenuous, but closer to the waterfall it can get pretty tough.

Hike South Thunder Mountain via Bell Canyon

Starting at the Bell's Canyon trailhead, the trail follows a river for most of the way, passing two reservoirs and two waterfalls. This trail is intermediate, depending on your destination. The first and most commonly visited section of the trail is the first reservoir. An easy hike of less than one mile provides a great opportunity for a family outing or hike with friends.If you are interested...

Hike and Fish Upper Bell Canyon Reservoir

This is one of my favorite spots in the state of Utah! It is completely secluded high up on the Wasatch front. You can hike here for a nice relaxing day, an overnight camping trip, or do a little fly fishing and hook some fun little brooke and cutthroat trout. The Bell Canyon trail is one of the most popular hiking trails in Utah. It offers a beautiful lower reservoir and an awesome waterfall. ...

Hike to Bell Canyon's Waterfall

If you keep a steady pace, the hike takes about an hour each way, so allow time when trying to catch the sunset. The hike is pretty easy until right before you reach the falls, where there is a big, steep hill you have to climb.From the parking lot/trailhead, head up the path and head left when you arrive at the reservoir, so that the water is on your right. You will see a "trail" sign on the l...

Backpack Lone Peak via the Cherry Creek Logging Trail

You start this trail at the Orson Smith Park in Draper. It joins with the Bonneville Shoreline Trail briefly before turning off onto the cherry creek logging trail. It switchbacks for a long ways exposed on towards the valley. It is fairly steep in places, but doable. I had tennis shoes with a pretty slick tread and I was fine. Once you get towards the top of the ridge, you turn left aroun...

Hike to Lone Peak

The main trail to Lone Peak is via Jacobs Ladder. To get to the start of the trailhead you need to drive on a dirt road for a little bit until you get to a little parking area (start of the road indicated on the map).The trail starts just south of where you park on the dirt road. The Jacobs Ladder trail is very steep. It starts out very narrow with a lot of switchbacks until it opens up to a wi...

Cycle Big Cottonwood Canyon

Riders have the option to ride any length of the canyon, all of which will be visually rewarding.There are 3 relatively steep sections in BCC. First, two miles up the canyon, you will climb to the Storm Mountain Camp Area. The ascent is on...
