Waterfall Canyon

Waterfall Canyon is a great hidden gem. While not as large and spectacular as the Ogden version, this is still a great place for a relaxing evening to see some beautiful rugged country. There are actually two falls here. One is probably about 20 feet and the other is probably about 40 feet. I would definitely do this in the Spring or very early summer; I am sure the water dries up fairly early in the summer. The trailhead is at the corner of East 700 North and North Highland Boulevard in Brigham City. Park on the street or at the nearby church and hike up the dirt road towards the hills. You will be able to see the falls from the parking area if you look up the hill. Just follow the old dirt road until you see the obvious spot to leave the road and start heading up. You can see from here it is very steep and rugged. There are falls on both the north and south side of the cliffs. I chose to see the one on the north side first. Just climb up the rocks and take your time. It's a fun spot to the smaller of the two falls. Keep heading above the north falls where you can walk onto the outcrop and get views of the south fall from above. There is not anywhere to cross straight over to the south since the brush is very impenetrable. There is a trail that keeps climbing until there is a spot to cross through the brush. The views here are great all around you. You will soon see a small "tunnel" through the brush. I was able to cross easily without getting my feet wet. This was a cool spot. Once across you will make your way down to the south waterfall. This is by far the highlight of the trip with lots of green moss making the fall beautiful. I would guess it's about 40 feet tall. After this fall the water flows downstream just a little longer before disappearing underground. You will then return to your car the same way you hiked in. The hiking is much easier going down but overall it's not a bad hike at all. This is a fun hike that is perfect for after work in the evening to a spot that very few people know about outside of locals.
