Overview

Hype:

Stewart Falls is one of the most scenic and photogenic waterfalls in northern Utah. It falls in two tiers and is over 200 feet tall. It is a moderate hike through a beautiful forest on the east side of Mt Timpanogos. The trail is well marked and easy to follow. The descent from the ridge down to the base of the falls is quite steep (youngsters should be held in check at that point) but this is a great family hike. Summer is a good time to make the trek, and fall is even better because colored leaves are magnificent.

Getting There

Navigate to 40.404213, -111.605331.

Route

From the parking area, make sure to take the south trailhead that starts near the restrooms. This is signed "Stewart Cascades". If you're on the trail that says "Mt Timpanogos Trailhead" you're going to be in for a completely different adventure. Once you're on the right trail, it would be nearly impossible to get lost. Follow the trail southwest for about 1.8 miles to Stewart Falls.
