SUNDANCE HIKE

SUNDANCE
Sundance hike to Stewart Falls is one of the best hikes in Utah.   It felt great getting soaked with ice cold water walking under the falls.  God blessed us with an enjoyable day with great fellowship.







SUNDANCE STEWART FALLS LOOP

DESCRIPTION:  Take a chair lift ride up Sundance and see scenic views.  Make sure you get off the lift at the first place, and not ride the lift to the summit.  Follow the trail signs to Stewart Falls.   There are a few steep hills, make sure you bring a hiking pole.  There was a crowd of one hundred people hiking the Aspen Grove trail to Stewart Falls, and about a dozen hiking on the Sundance trail.  After enjoying the falls, take the trail down the hill back to Sundance.  Don't take the Aspen Grove trail up the hill.
