Stewart Falls

After the Y we drove up Provo Canyon. Cheryl, my friend at work, had told me about a hike that she did two weeks ago. She said it was an easy hike, about 3.5 miles round trip. It was above Aspen Grove and Sundance. I told the guys about it and they wanted to do it. We missed the trail head and drove up the mountain for a couple of miles. Chris stopped and let me take a picture of the view.

We finally figured we had passed the trailhead and turned around. We stopped and asked for directions, bought water and we were on our way. The trail that we did is called Stewart Falls. It is a 200 foot waterfall that is two tiered. We finally got close enough to see it in the distance. The boys and I in front of the falls. It was beautiful. A perfect day for a hike. Warm, but not hot.
Here is the full view of the falls. Well worth the hike.
CJ and I decided we wanted to do the whole loop and go the back way down. It was really pretty. Chris and Nathan took the front way back so they could pick up the car. The problem was when we came out off of the trail, we didn't know where we were. We ended up in the middle of some canyons. We finally stopped someone on the road. He told us we were right above the resort. Thank goodness for phones. Chris and Nathan finally found us and picked us up.

On the way back down the canyon we had to stop and take a picture of Bridal Veil Falls. They have changed the look of that a lot since I was in school. It looks totally different. They have made a park at the base. Bridal Veil is a double cataract waterfall that drops 607 feet into the Provo River. It is beautiful.
