Summary: This is one on my Favorite hikes and is a very popular hiking trail in Davis County. This trail is popular due to its accessibility and the scenic beauty of the beautiful 40 foot waterfall at the end of the trail. In the first half mile you will climb over 500 feet. After you cross the shoreline trail you will drop some to the creek level then you will rise about 800 additional feet over the next .8 miles. The trail follows the North Fork of Holms creek through shady scrub oak and majestic white pine. The largest evergreen tree I have seen in Utah I found long this trail. You will cross the creek twice once on a sad old bridge that badly needs replacing and at the end by stepping on the rocks. The water fall at the end is spectacular, take some time to stand in the spray and cool off before heading back down the trail. Trailhead: To find the trail head take hwy 89 north to Layton, turn right on East 1200 North road then immediately turn right on Eastside road. Near the end of eastside road you will see a dirt parking area. This is the trail head parking.

Reviewed by Viewer on 10/23/2009 I love this hike. We went earlier this month and it was so pretty! It wasn't as hard as the first time I went. The waterfall is so worth it! 
Reviewed by Teresa on 10/6/2009 This is more of a difficult hike then a moderate. We did get detoured when we came up to the water but someone showed us the correct path that hugs the water. We didn’t make it all the way up because we arrive to the big rock and the rocks were too slippery so we played it safe.
Reviewed by JC on 10/1/2009 Hiked this last night. Nice and cool. Our first snow of the fall season. There was about a 1/4 inch up at the waterfall. 2 hours? Nope, I made it up to the waterfall in 43 minutes. (on wet rocks) Probably took me 20 minutes to go down. There is a trail that goes to the left a little before the bridge crossing. Does anyone know where it goes?
Reviewed by AC on 9/5/2009 Their is a new bridge built across the river, but the old one has an easier trail. We just got back from hiking it with our 4 kids ages 9months, 3 years, 5 years and 7 years old. We are tired, but kids can do anything, they are amazing! Watch out for wasps, my boy got stung 4 times!! But it was great, we want to make it a family yearly tradition.

Reviewed by LT on 7/21/2009 Great Hike, shocked about how tuff the last 15 Minutes is to the waterfall but it was worth it!
Reviewed by Stacy on 7/17/2009 My 9 yr old son and I hiked this 2 days in a row. He loves it ! The first part is hot and steep but so worth it once you get into the cover of the trees, always right by the water so you can cool down. beautiful hike.07/16/09
Reviewed by Bill on 7/12/2009 Hiked this on July 8th. We saw a 3-4 foot gopher snake about half way up. The shady trail was nice and cool even though the hike started out hot from the parking lot.
