I feel guilty whenever I go on a hike without the dogs. On even days they can't go to Dog Lake anyway, so I went up Big Cottonwood Canyon where they are never allowed because its a water shed.
This is a short nice hike. Just good to get up and out of the city. Perfect weather, and perfect scenery.
Most of the hike is a clear trail, once you get to the falls you can scramble up the rocks and go into the grotto.
The reason for the name Donut Falls.
Inside the grotto...
The backside of water! Get it? Just like Disneyland's Jungle Cruise...

I'm just not sure there is anywhere as pretty as Utah.... Great hike for everyone. Probably an hour + round trip if you don't scramble up to the waterfall. I can't wait to try this hike in the snow.

ReplyDeleteNine mile drive up the canyon. Turn left into Jordan Pines camping. Drive another mile to trailhead. And a 2 mile hike I think. So fun!
