Burnt Springs Waterfall

This long distance waterfall is certainly a runoff from the snowmelt and is located just .25 of a mile from the turn to Ely Creek Falls. Just continue down the trail and be sure to look to the left or you will miss it. Not impressive enough to bushwhack your way to it and I apologize for the lack of detail and it is due to the lack of a good stable spot for the tripod to rest. Nonetheless, here it is!

Ely Creek Falls and Cascade

I hiked to several new waterfalls and I am very glad I traveled this far to get to them. These are located outside of Vernal, Utah in the canyon to the northeast of the city. Including driving to the trailead from Magna and hiking to them I would say it took 4 and a half hours. Wow! I hiked up there with my good high school friend Eldon on the nice sunny day with scattered cloud cover and saw few if any on the trailhead. The trailhead is located at the Jones Hole Fish Hatchery.

Hidden Falls



This is Hidden Falls in Big Cottonwood Canyon. I have been here numerous times. However, I am perfecting the way I take pictures of waterfalls. Alas, this one is flowing high due to the snow pack melting. This one is an easy one to go to. I like this one alot.

Unknown Big Cottonwood Canyon Waterfall

This is an unknown waterfall I found in Big Cottonwood Canyon. I was driving up the canyon and it was on the right hand side of the road within 3 miles of the canyon before Hidden Falls. This one is about 15-20 feet and it is a pretty one. The water flow was constant but not as high as the other ones I have encountered.
