Hype:
The trail to Scout Falls starts at the Timpooneke Trailhead. It's actually the same trail that goes to the Timpanogos Summit, but Scout Falls provides a much closer destination for kids. The waterfall is actually a bit off the trail and requires some scrambling to get right under the falls.

Over the 4th of July weekend, we camped at the Timpooneke Campground and hiked up to Scout Falls. The hike was fun but just a little bit longer than the youngest ones were up for. The wildflowers were in full bloom, and the waterfall was very pretty.
