Overview

Hype:

Lisa Falls, located up Little Cottonwood Canyon, is a short and easy hike that all will enjoy. While the waterflow varies, the Spring snow melt months of March and April are the best times to visit Lisa Falls. It is very child-friendly and even allows for some easy and fun boulder hopping if you’d like. Since it is such a short hike, it can be done in conjunction with other day hikes up Little Cottonwood Canyon.
