I pulled into the trailhead parking lot just north of Sundance. As soon as I opened my car door it started raining. Since my time is limited here in Utah, I was not going to be denied. Luckily I packed a poncho that fits over my pack. loaded up and found the trail. This is one of the most beautiful trails that I have ever been on. The variety of trees and flowers coupled with the views were spectacular. These are the place that I feel the closest to God, and my heart was aching from all the beauty.
The trail is only two miles long to the Falls. The trail is not very steep of difficult, with only a few significant climbs. From the trail you can see the Sundance ski resort and the valley below.
I finally reached the falls and they were spectacular. I was on a ridge and I found a trail that led me down to the base of the falls. I snapped some pics and took a video of the falls which I posted on my facebook page.
On the way back to the car I took some pictures of wildflowers, the surrounding mountains, and some trees. This was a very peaceful and beautiful hike that anyone should be able to handle. I highly reccomend it if you are in the area.
there your help in the mountains will come from Him who make the heaven and earth
