This Utah Trail Takes You To The Most Beautiful Place Ever
Now that the temperatures in Utah are in the 90s, it’s time to head for the hills to cool off a little. This hike takes you up above Ogden and ends with a gorgeous waterfall that will cool you off even more.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
Waterfall Canyon Trail is 2.5 miles roundtrip. You'll start at the 29th Street Trailhead.
You'll soon arrive at the gate to The Guest Ranch. The rest of this trail is on private property, and the owner has made it available to everyone. Make sure to be respectful and pack out everything you pack in so that we can keep this trail open to the public.
Once you're in the canyon, the trail follows along the stream most of the way. The trail does have some steep spots, but most hikers (even kids) will easily navigate this trail.
Resist the urge to climb the rocks near the waterfall - many people have fallen here, sustaining serious injuries. A few have died in the past several years. Enjoy your view from the base of the waterfall.
