Waterfall Hikes in Utah (UT)
to explore
Utah's waterfalls arise where alpine streams descend from the Wasatch and Uinta ranges into the Colorado Plateau's red‑rock country, cutting slot canyons, amphitheaters, and steep river gorges across national parks like Zion and Bryce Canyon. Hikes are largely moderate in difficulty—with several short family‑friendly paths and occasional strenuous backcountry or canyon‑scramble routes—and the state is distinctive for seasonal, often ephemeral falls fed by spring snowmelt or monsoonal storms that spill over sheer sandstone cliffs and support verdant hanging gardens.
