Cascade Falls Utah

Cascade Falls Utah Overview

Cascade Falls is an easy 1.2 mile out and back hike located near Alton, Utah with scenic views of the National Forest and Zion National Park.

The waterfall is small and in the summer there is normally not a lot of water pouring.

There’s not a lot of difficulty in hiking Cascade Falls, but most of the trail is along a vertical escarpment, so some caution is needed especially with small children.

Along the trail, you will find a few benches on the way to sit and rest, take pictures, or have a snack.

We were there after a BIG rain and the trail was slightly “damaged” and careful footing was needed to ensure not to slip.
