Grotto Falls Hike

This is probably one of my favorite hikes to do with littles. It was short, shady, very green, had water, and plenty of places for boys to climb. Plus, it smelled great and had slightly damp ground so it wasn’t dusty like most other Utah hikes! These are the best kind of family outings.

Other news: We listened to some new tunes in the car on our drive to Payson Canyon. After like 7 years of primary songs in the car, Hannah encouraged us to listen to fun modern music. We found some that wouldn’t drive mom and dad crazy… some Bruno Mars and Imagine Dragons… David Archuleta, etc. Max said, “I just felt happy listening to that music.” And Liza would say almost every song, “I really wike that song!”

p.s. Scotty loves chocolate milk… and his new carseat that forward faces. He loves to see!

“Located about 7 miles up Payson Canyon is the Grotto Trail, commonly known as Grotto Falls. The trail is short, wide, with little elevation gain making it a great trail for all ages. The hike begins from the parking area just off the Mount Nebo Loop Road. It follows a small stream and curves its way through the forest. In a few locations you cross the stream on large timbers put in place by the forest service. This adds excitement to the trail especially for the kids.” Utah Outdoor Activities site
