Great hike to the falls. No one on the trail even on a busy day. There's two pathways up, one just by the old graffiti building off the parkway, and another just east of that. The east pathway is easier.
I hesitate to review this spot because it’s such a little unknown treasure. Often overshadowed by bridal veil this little hideaway falls boasts hardly any trail traffic, beautiful views, and a short but sweet hike to some impressive falls. It is rather steep so coming up and going back down can require some scrambling.
The entrance to the trail is across the provo river trail just a little north of the concrete structure.

My 1st time up there. I went to the 2nd tier of the Falls. I was not going to climb a rope to get to the 3rd tier lol. It was beautiful ❤
Most people visit Bridal Veil Falls and don’t even notice this falls. There was still snow from winter when I hiked up to it. It’s a little steep and there are a lot of loose rocks, the trail to it is off the paved path from Bridal Veil Falls and there’s a concrete building covered in graffiti. Behind that building is where you start your climb.
Beautiful falls you can hike right up to! The trail starts next to the graffiti covered structure just up the hill from the bridge. Other than that, it's not marked. It's a fairly steep and rocky trail and I wished that we had brought our camelbacks for water so that we could have freed up our hands to help balance and catch ourselves on the loose the rocks on the way back down. We read that the hike was fine for someone else's 4 year old and their dogs so we assumed our family would be fine. We did make it to the top and enjoyed the view and water, but our 6 year old and my adult brother in law who is mentally disabled but physically very fit, struggled with the careful footing that is required. Even still, everyone felt that it was definitely worth the hike!!
Great short hike to a very hidden falls. The trail starts on the other side of the shed covered in graffiti, and just looking out there is no sign of a waterfall at all! The hike itself while short was very steep and rocky. Still a great little hike to a cool looking waterfall with an excellent view of the canyon.
Nice short hike! It is a little bit steep, but the falls at the end are worth it! Not as crowded as bridal veil and the view out into the canyon is pretty good. The trailhead is kind of just hidden off to the side of the passing trail, so that's probably why there weren't that many people up there. Would definitely recommend hitting this quick hike in addition to visiting Bridal Veil.
A much more intimate setting than the nearby Bridal Veils Falls. It’s a short hike, but steep. Not crazy steep, but it is much more challenging than the paved path you walk on to get there. It is not clearly marked, and we had to ask people nearby how to get there.
We didn’t see many people while we were there, and we were able to take our time and enjoy the falls. Our dogs loved it. Fun family outing- I had our 9-month old on my back.
Good activity in the heat of the summer because you can enjoy nature and cool off in the mist of the falls.
