Battle Creek Falls

Aug 8th, 2015 at Battle Creek Falls, Pleasant Grove, Utah

Battle Creek Falls is a perfect hike for the whole family, including the 4 legged kids.  It's only a 1.8 mile round trip with no entrance or park fees. It is a moderate difficulty level hike with a few steeper elevation changes as you near the waterfall at the end.  It is a beautiful 50 foot waterfall cascading down a rock face.  Climbing and rappelling are allowed, but not recommended for the inexperienced or the kids.  When you get close to the waterfall it gets a little windy and cool, so bring a coat.  Don't forget the towels either in case you want to cool down in the waterfall.  There is a pavilion with picnic tables and fire pits near the trailhead where you can enjoy lunch before heading back home.
