WATERFALL CANYON

God gives us wonderful days and beautiful places to hike.  I have never seen so much water at Waterfall Canyon.  

DESCRIPTION: Enjoy a hike on the foothills of Ogden into a beautiful hidden canyon. From the trailhead shelter, take the trail going up the hill,

At the Bonneville Shoreline trail

turn right for the Short route,

the trail joins the Bonneville Shoreline trail, after crossing a bridge, and turn left and hike up the canyon.

or turn left for the Scenic Tour,

at the first junction (BST marker),

take the trail down the hill to the Spring,

after passing it, turn right on the next trail,

(this trail will take you up the hill and southbound)

At the next junction, (BST marker), continue straight, and do not take the trails up Taylor Canyon or the one back down the hill.

you will climb and pass a rock outcropping overlooking the valley, (good place for a break)

continue until you reach the first canyon,

cross a stream on a wooden bridge and take the trail up the canyon.

you'll pass a cherry tree, and cross a wooden bridge.
