UPPER BELL CANYON FALLS

What a wonderful day God has created! The best I've ever seen, tremendous rushing water crashing over granite boulders. We enjoyed great fellowship and a cool morning hike. And best of all, there were few people by the falls. 

      

LOWER BELL RESERVOIR

DESCRIPTION: The trailhead begins in a Sandy neighborhood. For the first 1/2 mile you will climb up a Grand Canyon staircase to the lower reservoir. The trail mellows out until you get to a forest area with a bubbling stream. It is fun crossing the wooden bridge and seeing wildflowers. 

BELL CANYON

The trail begins with a rocky climb up the hill. After hiking awhile you'll hear the roaring falls.

LOWER BELL CANYON FALLS

At a fork in the trail, take a left. Be careful climbing down to the falls area and watch out for exposure. 

TAKING A BREAK BY THE LOWER FALLS

You'll have to go back to the fork in the trail to go to the second falls. Hike for 45 minutes up a steep rocky trail, & take a trail to the left.
