Description: Exploring the West Through Active Adventures.
Did you know that Utah has more than 100 waterfalls? It may not be the first thing you think of in a place world-renowned for its rock formation-filled national parks, but there are myriads of great cascade-filled hikes just waiting for you to chase those falls. So scroll down to read about more than 16 of the best waterfall hikes in Utah. You don’t want to miss a single one.
I just love the feeling of the cooling mist on my face after hiking to a waterfall. Still, while you may be warm or even hot while on your hike, the area around a waterfall may be significantly cooler because of the water and Utah’s low humidity. It’s a good idea to bring layers such as a lightweight, long-sleeved shirt or a waterproof jacket when hiking to Utah’s waterfalls.
No one likes to get a blister out on the trail, so waterproof hiking shoes can make or break your experience. If you are hiking trails like Kanarra Falls , when walking through is unavoidable, a good neoprene hiking sock with either a sandal in warmer weather or shoes in cooler weather will keep your feet from getting too cold. As always, when out on the trail, you always want to pack your ten essentials.
