Waterfall Canyon

I went for a quick run/hike up to another one of the canyons nearby my house on Monday, after all the snow up high melted away and the clouds blew through. Waterfall Canyon is beautifully lined with quartzite cliffs on both sides and it caps off with, surprise, a big waterfall. Because of the lateness of the season, it wasn't running crazy, but it was definitely still going. The waterfall is probably about 70 feet long and cascades down to the rocks at your feet. From my house to the top of Waterfall Canyon is about 2.5 miles and around 1100-1200 feet of elevation gain. Definitely a beautiful canyon with a great view of downtown Ogden. Just another cool thing outside my door in Utah.

Here's a few photos from the adventure.
