Stewarts Cascades

Off the backside of Mount Timpanogos lies Iceberg thats runoff produces Stewart Falls. A one and a half mile hike in the scenic Wasatch Mountains near Sundance Mountain Resort leads to the icy cold waters that await you. Go ahead and walk under the falls, that is if you enjoy the the sensation mind numbing chills. Walk out the other side and take a few minutes to catch you stolen breath before you fill up your water bottle with the crystal clear ice water from the falls. Don't worry about the heat of summer on your hike back down just enjoy the beautiful scenery as your clothes slowly dry.

Sundance is famous for much more than film. One look at Stewart Falls and you’ll know why. This cavalcade of waterfalls runs almost year-round as melt-off from the backside of Timpanogas, Utah Valley’s most majestic mountain. The drive to the trailhead alone merits the trip; leave plenty of time for scenic stops. The path of the easy, 2-mile hike is choked with aspen, pine, and oak of all colors–the flora itself a cascade of paint: burnt reds, yellows, and bright greens. A quick dip in the natural pool at the foot of the falls is as refreshing as the mountain air. Be sure to have a camera in tow—you're going to want to play Ansel Adams.
