Over a year ago, I had this idea to do a “Wasatch Waterfall Challenge” and visit as many waterfalls as I could in one day. Last month, my plan came together!
(Yes, my shirt says “Let’s Go Chasing Waterfalls.”)
Since the goal was to see as many waterfalls as possible in one day, none of our hikes were particularly long. We began with Lower Adam’s Canyon Falls. Quick, easy, and fun hike!

Then we did the Grotto of Hornet Canyon. Probably my favorite hike of the day, although we got lost and hiked in an actual creek and did 1,000 feet extra of elevation. Oh, and I got knocked over by a dog. But the grotto was a such a magic little spot; Ashley and I decided we need to come back with a picnic lunch.
After a break for lunch at Kneaders, we met up with my friend Colby and his wife and baby girl. Actually, I barely know Colby... I met him on this crazy canyoneering trip at Zion years ago, and I haven’t seen him since, so I was excited when he said he was joining us for a hike! Unfortunately, it was not a successful hike... Secret Falls was inaccessible due to snow. But we enjoyed the company and the conversation.
We only had time for two more quick hikes after this. Next stop was Lisa Falls. I wouldn’t even call it a hike, but it was a pretty spot worth seeing!
And our final waterfall was Rocky Mouth, which really, was less than thrilling. But it was short and easy and I’d never seen it, so now I can check it off my list.
There are so many more waterfalls I want to see, so there will definitely be a Part 2 to the Wasatch Waterfall Challenge. This time, we started up north and worked our way south. Next time, we’ll start down south and work our way north. There are just so many beautiful things to see here!
