Wow! Can't believe I've lived in Utah my entire life and never tried this easy, but beautiful hike!…read moreThanks to ChatGPT for recommending this hike me. Searched up easy, short winter hikes for solo hikers and this popped up, super glad it did! This hike is an absolute must try if you live in Utah county. It is just 1.3 miles round-trip and only took about 15 minutes to get up to the frozen waterfall. The waterfall was absolutely beautiful, all of the ice crystals and trees were stunning. It is pretty slippery this time of year so I would bring hiking poles or hiking boots that have good traction so that you can get down to the waterfall. I unfortunately wore the wrong shoes so I couldn't go all the way down. Would've broke my assWill definitely be doing this again, it's nice that it's so close and such a short easy hike for the winter time!

On Monday, April 7, 2025 (Yesterday), I decided to take advantage of the warmer weather and hike at…read moreBattle Creek Falls. Parking lot: Free Size: Small Bathroom: Yes Men and women Toilet: Regular; water-based. From the parking lot to the waterfall, took 15 minutes, give or take. The trail is slightly incline, some parts more, than others and since I haven't worked out in the past few months, I was slightly out of breath, but nothing extreme before the waterfall. Moreover, there is also a path down to the waterfall, with a log to sit on, and taken in the beautiful waterfall. If one decides to go further up, the path does continue on top of the waterfall, right hand side. This trail is easy and no way of getting lost to the water fall. In additon, If you're looking for more beyond the waterfall, there is a much smaller one shortly ahead, but after that, there is not much to see. A lot of snow and mud, and dry plants. And after the second smaller waterfall, the trail does get challenging because it's all uphill. Unfortunately, I did not make it to the meadows. I came across two hikers who said they did go to meadows and it was ugly right now. I wanted to see for myself and on the way there, the path itself was very ugly, muddy and dry. Henced, I turned back. Overall, family friendly, easy hike, and make sure to bring a hat because a lot of the trail after the waterfall is direct sunlight, no shade.

Drive up and run down for 5 solid miles of scenic/peaceful views. For those seeking more of challenge you can walk (for those who are undercover superheros run up) and then run down for 10 solid miles. Most folks who take this approach park at the Smiths or O'Riley's to begin their workout. Runners, walkers, and cyclists it really is a great place to decompress without having to go to far off the beaten path. Note: There is a bike path and walking trail most street runners/walkers talke along with cyclists. There is also an actual hiking trail, however, I'm not as familiar with that route. Hope you enjoy!

Some rocks to make you slow down, some grades a bit too steep to run down, and a beautiful view the entire time. It was a solid 4 mile loop by the time I got back. Parking is free and the trail is well maintained. There's a bathroom at the parking area. It's a 1 mile to the T up to the suspension bridge. If you keep going, you'll get to a Little Rock tunnel, then another bridge, and another bridge, and the run back if you're going counter clockwise like I did, is fairly easy there after. There's not a lot of shade so if it's a hot day, definitely bring a hat.

Never having crossed a log bridge quite like this one - it was a good portion of the thrill! Add to that the glowing, pre-sunset kissed, fiercely and beautiful surging river below - full of rapids and mini-waterfalls. This made for a very happy hike! It felt like hiking in an Alpine version of Fern Gully - light filtering through the tall pine canopy - it felt like there was a special nature magic/spirit in this place!

The…read morebeginning had me a bit confused but once you continue now the clearly marked path, you realize there actually is a nice trail here. The path loops around the miniature mountain and loops back together from where you started, unless you take the wrong trail and end up climbing straight up the mountainside. The result will end is a magnificent view of Utah Valley and northern Utah valley, however it was not a easy trek for little kids. It wore mine out and was very slippery (don't let them wear flip flops...#momfail). If you stay on the CLEAR marked path, you should loop all the way around and have no trouble with tired feet or chance of getting hurt. It's about 1 mile all the way around.

Our first time visit to this trail had us drooling for more…read more Visiting in late March, there were grassy and rocky cliffs/rock formations on each side of the canyon with a perfectly snow-capped peak right in the center. Just before sunset, the whole canyon was warmly lit - glistening in grandeur - begging to be photographed. We were short on time - needing to return to the Bonneville Shoreline Trailhead (about 1.75 miles away) before dark but this scene beaconed us in such a way that we had to press on up its steep steps - curious to see how the view might shift with each step! Leaving the trail with only a taste of what these Dry Canyon trails could offer, we placed this high on our list of considerations for a post-work hike!

There is a little spot where someone had built a fire (not sure if allowed) where you can rest and enjoy the lake views. For something intermediate there is a trail that ascends further into a meadow that is a great place to rest for lunch. I recommend good sun block and a hat on very sunny days since there is very little coverage most of the trail. This is perfect for a family hike on the weekend, or a relaxing hike even during the weekdays.

I just threw on my spikes, and climbed all the way up to the tower. Easy Trail as far as distance goes, and you can't beat the 360 degree views when you get up on top. You will able to see all the way to Provo, and all the way to Bountiful with the 360 degree view. Just absolutely gorgeous. I only saw five people on the trail today, and that was mostly when I was coming down. Good short hike for families, and part of the trail is off-leash for dogs. ** Garbage can available to put your dog poop in, but people seem to just leave it on the trail. ***No bathrooms available. #leavenotrace
