Great trail that is good for hikers of all abilities. Beautiful views!
A few creek crossings that you should be able to keep your shoes dry on by stepping on the rocks. But, sometimes a rock tips over and a foot goes in (say no more ; )
Be sure to go all the way to the end because that is where you will see "Morning Glory Arch". Sometimes you can see the locals repelling down from the arch
Honestly, this was one of the most pleasant surprises of our trip to Utah. It was at least 100F everyday and we would go to national park hikes in the early morning, but by midday, we needed respite, bcz hanging out at the campground was oppressive! We went to the Mill Creek hike, but there were a lot of people, so we wanted to find something else refreshing. Went here around 2-3pm and it was mostly shaded by the combo of plants and big rocks. Really beautiful and many small swimming holes along the creek. We hung out at one spot for 1.5hours for kids (and us) to swim (we all have water shoes). During that time, maybe 2-3 groups passed by (weekday). Cooling off motivated the kids to keep hiking and we made it to the arch. We are also now fairly confident that we can ID poison ivy lol. It was not obstructing the trail, but I could see that with a bit more growth, you might want to be wearing long pants. Anyway, we took our time and when we returned to the trailhead, it was golden hour and cooling down. A wonderful way to spend the afternoon.
One of the best hikes of my life. Loved it. You do need to get over some rocks and cross some streams so you should have some good balance.
Great hike close to town! The trail could be maintained better though. It seemed very overgrown in spots and there were many areas that had a considerable amount of poison ivy right off the path. The trail is very narrow in spots, so if there are hikers coming the other way, someone has to move off the path. The views at the end are worth it!
Was a nice trail with good places to take pictures and was easy. You do have to cross a river a few times so depending on the weather when you go would determine how slippery things will be.
