BATTLE CREEK FALLS

BATTLE CREEK FALLS

It looked like a rainy day; but God gave us sun! A wonderful cool day for a Sunday hike. We saw four big horn sheep, humming birds, dragon flies, squirrels, and a Summer Tanager bird. Wonderful rock outcroppings, and a splendid view of snowcapped Timpanogos.

Adventure in the foothills above Pleasant Grove, Utah See three different waterfalls and a pond.

Less than 1 mile to the big falls. Kids hike to this one.

The other 2 falls are smaller and no further than 1/2 mile away, but require hiking up a steep trail with loose rock.
