Great little hike super close to Provo/Orem. Very sustained and steep so bring your game face! Also probably not for kids right now... The trail can get super rocky and slippery, especially close to the falls. You will most likely be getting wet, so prepare with the proper boots! Also, you can't hike this one too early in the spring or you'll run into glacier snow pack. 😅 It's never been greener than this year though... 2023! 4 stars because trail conditions can be sketchy AF.
To get there, park in the bridal veil Falls area, go under the freeway and cross the bridge on the right, then follow fence left around and go up to the fire road. Turn right, follow it to the shack looking thing and turn left... That is the trail head!

A nice little hike filled with all kinds of vegetative variety... The flowering milk weed was my favorite. Relentlessly steep, uphill almost there entire time. Sturdy shoes are a must. I went in late July... The tall grasses before the end were a bit itchy, so if that bothers you, bring pants and a long shirt. Hike ends at the fence opening I assume. Good hike, got a pretty nice uphill burn going. Bring a headlamp if you get caught in the dark, because it was pitch black in the valley at sundown. 😎
