Summary: This is a great hike for people of all ages. There are a few places where there are loose rocks, but most people in fair physical condition should be able to navigate this trail. The view of the waterfall and the valley makes it well worth it. As I mentioned in the trailhead section of this report, there are several trails to explore in this area, just about all of them are clearly marked. Note: some trails are specifically for hikers, others are for Mt. bikers. You may see people on bikes on the hiking trails, and most people don't seem to mind, but be aware on blind corners that there may be mt. bikers present. If you have a GPS unit and are interested in Geocaching, there are several caches in the area to find. If you are interested in attempting to locate some of these caches, or would like more information about Geocaching, go to: http://www.geocaching.com/ to learn more. If you have further questions, you cane-mail me at tsugihara@topproducer.com Trailhead: There are multiple trail heads in the area. The most common is at the top of 29th street. There is a parking lot, and the trail head is clearly marked. There are other trails in the area, but if you stay on the upper trail, it will take you to the waterfall trail. If you stay on the trail's by the river, it will take you right to it. The other common trail head is on the south side of Mt. Ogden park. There is also clearly marked trail heads from this location. If you look on the side of the mountain, you will see two copper/rust colored water tanks. The trail to the waterfall is about 40-50 yards above the tanks.

Reviewed by HK on 5/18/2012 I hope that "Oaks" realizes how insensitive his comments are. That boy was a family member, and he and his family deserve a little respect. He was a great climber, and was NOT screwing around. So think before you speak next time. And please be careful when hiking. 
Reviewed by Oaks on 5/9/2012 This is a great, ease back into hiking kind of hike. Its strenuous if you are out of shape but not so hard that you can't get to the end to enjoy the wonderful view of the waterfall. The purple graffiti at the waterfall is a very sad eye sore. I understand that it is sad that some kid died up there because he was screwing around and climbing things without proper gear but that doesn't give anyone the right to destroy the natural beauty of the waterfall for everyone else who enjoys the trail. 
Reviewed by MRJ on 3/31/2012 Very good hike. Magnificent view of nature. Could be marked better!
Reviewed by Dusty on 8/29/2011 Good area to climb we had fun. Take plenty of water and be ready to do some climbing in a few parts. We will return to climb this location again. Note the second part of the climb is very rocky.
Reviewed by Viewer on 8/18/2011 I was glad that I ran into hikers that have already been there because the trail isn't very well marked at the switch backs. I enjoyed this hike. The last stretch to the waterfall was rocky.
Reviewed by CAH on 7/13/2011 Fantastic hike! Waterfall is beautiful. This is def. a great incline hike! Trail can be slick and rocky. View is amazing at the top! Husband and I took our 4 children, ages 9-12, they did much better than I did! I was slightly disappointed at some of the OTHER hikers on the trail, some were rude, pushing others aside to get by instead of waiting patiently. We will do this hike again.
Reviewed by Chad, Z. on 6/1/2011 Just got home from this hike, we took our children with us and for the most part we didn't have to carry them much, their are 7, 6, 3 year old twins. I would do it again. As a tip I would suggest not keeping your digital camera in your pocket.
Reviewed by SEB on 11/10/2010 Discovered it 15 years ago in March on a trip to SLC. Not a bad hike, spectacular falls, and a view of the city that can't be beat. When I was there, there was still ice and snow up in the canyon itself, and some of the trail was a little slick, but, highly recommended!
