Overview

Hype:

Milky Falls is a series of small waterfalls in Manti Canyon. The falls are located a few hundred feet from the road on an easy trail. The falls are nice if you're in the area, but they're not worth a long drive just to see them. Depending on which road you take, the roads can be very rough.

Getting There

Navigate to 39.243505, -111.522977.

Park on the spur road that goes east from the main road. The trailhead is at the southeast end of the pullout.

Route

From the trailhead, follow the obvious trail east for a few hundred feet. The trail is a bit steep in places, especially if you continue up to the top of the falls. There is a clearing with a bench at the bottom of the waterfall that offers a nice place to relax and take in the view.

Story

We took the back roads from Ephraim Canyon over to Manti Canyon, and it was a rough and bumpy ride. The roads were definitely meant for ATVs. The truck and SUVs made it, but four-wheel-drive was definitely necessary. I don't think we would have made it in the reverse direction. Once at Milky Falls, my parents waited at the bench at the bottom while the rest of us explored up the side trails. We took a bunch of pictures and had a great time.
