Youth Hiking - Upper Falls, Provo Cyn 7/1/24



Sample Itinerary:

9-1030 am - Hike


Directions:Upper Falls Trailhead, Provo Cyn


Activity: Hiking Upper Falls - 0.6 miles out and back. Cross over the bridge at Upper Falls Park. Turn left up the paved trail to the Provo Parkway Trail. Turn right, then in about 10 ft there is Provo Parkway mile marker on the left and the easy trail starts here. There are two trails that go straight up to the falls. This is the one up canyon, there is another one down canyon about 50 ft on the left at the large painted boulder. For younger legs, we recommend starting on the up river trail and then take your first right to begin a set of switchbacks that connect the two trails. Take this as high as you want. We prefer to stay up river (left) after the switchbacks and the trail will turn right and then straight to the falls. You can make it a loop and take the other way down though it is steep. You can hike up near the base of the falls.   All Trails Trip Report
