The Utah Waterfall Hike You Won’t Want To Miss This Summer

You can spend a lifetime exploring Utah's hiking trails, and you'll find something for every skill level here. Many of the hikes we bring you are perfect for even small children; this one is a bit strenuous for small children, but makes for a fabulous afternoon of hiking for more experienced adventurers. It's considered strenuous, but the waterfalls and views make it well worth your effort.

The Grove Creek and Battle Creek Loop Trail starts in Pleasant Grove and makes its way up a canyon, along a creek through a meadow, and past two waterfalls.

The hike takes you in an 8.2-mile loop, and you'll gain a total of 2,644 feet of elevation along the way.

As the trail skirts along the side of the mountain, it can be a bit narrow and slippery. If you're hiking with kids, take it slow and keep a close eye on them.

The views of Utah Valley and Utah Lake are stunning from up here!

You'll pass by two pretty waterfalls along this trail, and they're particulary spectacular in the early summer.

Battle Creek Falls is the larger of the two, and you might see rock climbers making their way up the face of the cliff next to the falls.

Farther down the trail, the creek offers welcome shade and babbling water running down the hill.

Cross a lush meadow with excellent views of Mount Timpanogos in the distance.

Fill your water bottle up at the spring - it's clean and cold.

This pretty meadow is a popular place for backpackers to spend the night. If you're hiking back down, stop here for a picnic lunch.
