Description

An easy drive east of Salt Lake City and a very short and easy walk will bring you to this nice 40' waterfall. This waterfall exists in a small and steep slot canyon along Mill B North Fork Creek in Big Cottonwood Canyon that is somewhat popular with blossoming rock climbers. Later in the year low flow conditions will allow you to approach the base of the waterfall. Because of the ease of access, this waterfall is pretty popular with young families. However, in late-September we had the waterfall to ourselves.

Directions

From the I-215/UT-190 intersection southeast of Salt Lake City, follow UT-190 southeast for ~1.7 miles. Turn left to stay on UT-190 and begin entering Big Cottonwood Canyon. After a further ~4.3 miles turn right into the small parking area in the middle of the S-curve. Walk north from the parking area and cross the highway. Follow the use-trails along the creek and, if possible, follow the creek-bed to the base of the falls.
