Davis Creek Falls

Davis Creek is a beautiful and easy hike that ends at some waterfalls. Closer to the waterfalls near the mouth of the canyon you will find tons of moss and grassy areas. This is a fun, short hike which climbs more than 537 feet to the waterfalls. It isn't really steep or difficult but it is a great hike for kids and families! The trail starts right next to the road. The trail for the most part is very clear and visible as you climb the .27 mile to the park bench that overlooks Davis Creek. You will see many scrub oak trees and similar bushes all along the way. I really love hiking this trail in the fall when all the colors begin to show. But really, any time is a good time to hike Davis Creek! Eventually you will come to a fork. Turn left to go down to the Indian Bath Tubs, which feature a two foot deep pool at the base of the waterfall that is big enough to hold several adults. It is worth a soak in the hot summer months. The trail to the right goes roughly another 200 yards to the waterfall. The trail continues on and you will begin to see what appears to be a small alcove on the right hand side of the creek. Continue to this area and you will be right around the corner from the waterfalls. From here the trail is a little bit hard to see but it keeps going up the canyon a little ways. This is not so much a waterfall as it is a waterslide. The water flows over the rock and there is moss and grass all over the area making Davis Creek a beautiful hidden gem in Davis County. Directly up above from the waterfalls is the climbing area that is roughly 75 feet above from the creek below. There are anchors already in place but you will need the appropriate climbing equipment including descending devices, 100+ ft rope, shoes, helmets, and gloves. This is a great hike that is seldom visited. There are multiple waterfalls and beautiful plant life in the area that make this hike hard to pass up.
