Wonderful short hike to the upper falls. 2 dogs and a 4 year old in tow. It’s secluded enough to feel deep in nature but short enough to complete within 30 minutes. We started from the bridal veil falls, walked on the paved trail towards the the upper falls. There is a building with graffiti on it and that was where we started up the mountain. Not a lot of people were on this trail which was a huge plus, especially with the gazillions of people at bridal veil falls. The hike up is rocky and steep but nothing a 4 year old can’t handle. We took our time. As you walk up you see more and more of the canyon mountain across the road behind you. The waterfall itself is beautiful and feels like a cove. It’s all slanted, rocky and steep so people don’t stay for very long because there’s nowhere to sit. We just sat on the rocks and enjoyed some time alone. It actually got a bit chilly so I had to move from the shade into the sun. There is no where to play in the water like the bridal veil falls, but to me it’s worth having a secluded place to yourself for a little while.

I actually climbed up to (almost) the top of bridal veil falls instead of going to the upper falls. I just parked in the upper falls parking lot... It was sprinkling and raining a little bit on and off the whole time but the trails weren't too bad, not too slippery, a little muddy though...And if you end up on the ridge we did, just below the top of bridal veil falls, just a warning….almost at the end of the trail, there are 2 or 3 steps only a little wider than my foot so I had to sidestep, hooking my fingers into cracks in the cliff to make sure I didn't fall down the mountain... If you are afraid of heights, do not take this trail!

Enjoyable walk.
In summer 2023 still recovering from the avalanche in the winter. Pics included were taken 4th of July, and still more than 6 ft of snow pack melting.
The stream is full.
At the base of the falls, the trail is currently covered and need to be careful there.
Parking is challenging.

Beautiful area to walk and enjoy nature. The sound of the water is so calming and the area to walk is easy for all ages to enjoy. Easy to find parking as well. Don't forget to bring your water. The views of the mountains are stunning in this area

Nice series of falls viewable from the road or you can park in the upper falls lot and hike up to them. The sun was setting so I just enjoyed the view from the road but this area looks like a great place to pack a picnic,, park, get your bike out and spend the day hiking and biking.

A beautiful day for a hike! In the mid 50s. There was only about 5 cars in the parking lot at noon. When I left 3 hours later there were about 10. Only a couple of bikes and all the dogs I saw were on a leash. From the parking lot you only walk about a hundred yards to see the falls. A great shirt hike for all ages, levels, and abilities! Several benches and picnic tables along the way to stop and have a lunch.

Parking Area is good. They have restroom and sitting tables under shade. Trail is very good for cycling and roads looks new. Sign for getting to falls is not clear so look for walking path starting ahead of bridge. Hike to falls is steep but its worth climbing. Now we have little snow at top and it's difficult for kids other wise nice place to visit. Will be difficult hike for elder people.

A shaded mountain trail to a rewarding hike to a waterfall. The trail is a bit rocky and steep for kids, but take it slow and you will find a refreshing 30 foot waterfall with beautiful views of Provo canyon. At the base of the falls, the water disappears into the rocky gravel base. Pretty interesting.
