Sept 26th at Cascade Springs Trail, Midway, Utah #unplugged#terrysweekendadventures
This amazing little treasure is hidden about 9 miles from the summit on the Alpine Loop Highway. It only takes about 30 minutes to hike the entire area and is great for anyone who has mobility issues, as the entire area is wheelchair accessible from the lower parking lot. There are three main pools the dozens of tiny waterfalls connecting them. Signs say that the ponds are home to brown trout, but we weren't lucky enough to see any. There were plenty of leaves on the ground that the kids picked up to take home for tracings. The most amazing part, aside from the gorgeous fall foliage, is the fact that the entire system seems to come out of nowhere. As you get to the top of the trail, the water just seeps out of a dirt embankment and turns into a pretty large stream. The trail closes at dusk and it gets dark earlier up behind the nearby mountains, so make sure to plan accordingly.
