Description

Added by Eric Bennett

Cascade Springs is very peaceful and easily accessible. This is an ideal location for photography due to easy access to the springs and beautiful fall colors.

One of the most photogenic spots of the Timpanogos Canyon. If you take the Alpine loop you will see a sign to turn off and go to Cascade Springs. It's about a 15 minute drive from there. The parking lot is right next to the springs. The best time to go is during the fall when the leaves are changing colors, this place explodes with intense reds, yellows, and oranges.

There are lots of opportunities to get shots of the flowing water coming out of the springs here and sometimes lots of wildlife like birds, deer, goats, and moose. This is also a great place to chill throughout the evening, have a picnic, and take the family.

This trail is easy assemble as you can hike up wooden paths seeing several different waterfalls. It is a great family hike for young children.

Not a hike but a beautiful drive at the start of fall. Beautiful scenic stroll around the springs. Don’t forget to taste the water 😁

Pretty yes but you drive for a while even just from Heber and there's only so much walking around you can do. A nice place to go with your grandmother

Head towards Cascade Springs from either Provo or American Fork Canyons. As you approach Cascade Springs, a couple miles out watch for small turn-outs on the right side of the road. There should be just enough room for you to park in a variety of locations on the way down to the springs. Hop out and take some epic shots and time lapses of the sun (or full moon) rising. Note: There is a recrea...

Walk the Deer Creek Dam Trail

While driving East, the turnoff to the trailhead is just left of the dam. There is a size-able parking lot and rest rooms available. The hike itself is a dirt path and easy to follow. Access to the water's edge is restricted until you are 1500 feet past the dam. Though the trail is designed for biking, equestrian use and hiking, it is also a great location for trail running. It is also great fo...

Start at the Aspen Grove trailhead for Mt. Timpanogos. Go straight up the southwest side of Primrose Cirque and keep climbing until it levels out continue past East Timp to the shelter by Emerald Lake. From Emerald Lake, skin up where the snowfield is during the summer (south from the shelter). When you hit the ridge continue across to where you want to drop in.Extreme avalanche danger can exis...

North Summit of Mount Timpanogos

To reach the north summit of Timpanogos you start out just like you would if you were going to the main summit. There are 2 different trail options to choose from; The Aspen Grove trail near Sundance Ski resort or the Timpanooke trail through American Fork Canyon. I will put the start point on the map at the Aspen Grove Trailhead. The trail is extremely easy to follow. It is a gradual incline u...

Mount Timpanogos via Aspen Grove

The Aspen Grove trail is shorter but a bit steeper than the Timpanooke Trail. This usually means that fewer people take this route, and on an extremely popular mountain like Timpanogos, that’s a good thing. The trail is 14 miles round trip with an elevation gain of 5,140 feet. The hike begins at the Aspen Grove parking lot and shares a trailhead with Stewart Falls. Take the trail heading west...

Stewart Falls

The canyon is closed during snowfall so this is only accessible between May-Nov usually. It is best during the fall when the leaves have changed color, but let's be honest, it's always great. Head up Provo Canyon and follow the signs to make a left going into Sundance. Follow the road past the ski resort and lodge until you see a parking lot on the left just near the kiosk entering the Alpine L...
