Stewart Falls Hike in Provo Canyon, Utah

Stewart Falls is a 200 foot cascading waterfall located in Provo Canyon, Utah.

To get there you'll pass the Sundance Ski Resort  and Aspen Grove. You'll come to a guard gate/toll booth where you will pay the $6 for a 3-day pass. 

You'll then turn left into a large parking lot.

There are 2 bathrooms at the foot of the trail.

This is a moderate hike that should take around 1.5 to 3 hours to hike the 3.6 mile out and back trail.

When you drive through Aspen Grove, you'll see a sign and go under a pedestrian bridge.

Once you go up the road, you'll come to the toll booth where you pay to get in.

You'll pay $6 for a 3-day pass. They also honor the America the Beautiful National Parks Pass or the Golden Passports Pass to get in too.

When we went, the lot was full so we had to park outside and didn't have to pay. We parked outside and walked in. 

You'll go past the booth and turn left into the parking lot.

The trailhead is down by the bathrooms.

Once you get to the bathrooms, you'll see the trailhead. That's where you will start the 3.6 mile out and back hike.

As you start the hike you will see that they call the trail to Stewart Falls the "Stewart Cascades Trail No 056".

There are lots of signs to make sure you know you are going in the right direction.

This is what the trail looks like:

The trail has some shady spots, but it also has a lot of areas that are open.

On a hot day, it was nice to find a big tree for some shade to stop and drink some water and eat some snacks.

This was the view as we got close to the waterfall.

There is a steep rocky area on the trail right before you get to the waterfall.

This is the view looking up once we hiked down.

There is an outlook where you have some great views of Stewart Falls.

We took a few switchbacks down and this is the view of Stewart Falls as you come out of the trail.

There is a steep trail that takes you up to just above the lower waterfall.

Climb that one at your own risk because it is steep.

Once we got to the top, this was the view of Stewart Falls.

This is the view looking down.

Overall, we loved this hike. This waterfall is beautiful and we would do this hike again.

There is a $6 fee for a 3-day pass.

This can be paid at the ranger station toll booth when you drive in. They also honor a National Parks Pass or a Golden Passports Pass. So if you have those, you don't have to pay to get in.

If there is no ranger on duty, you can pay with cash in an envelope at the parking lot.

When we went, the entire parking lot was full so we parked down past Aspen Grove and walked up.

We didn't have to pay  since we parked outside of the parking area.

Price: $6 for 3-day pass

($0 for us since we parked outside and walked in)

You can see the pricing on these signs:

These are the checklist items I recommend:

• Bring $6 Cash to pay for a 3-day pass
• Bring a hat to keep the sun off of your face
• Wear shoes with good grip or hiking shoes
• Bring lots of water and some snacks
