Hike Cascade Springs

ScenicEasySpringSummerFall

Wander along boardwalks and paved paths through a lush natural spring area. Discover cascading waterfalls and crystal-clear pools.

Itinerary tips

  • 1Plan for about 60 to 90 minutes to explore the three distinct loop trails and take photographs of the waterfalls.
  • 2Access the springs via the Alpine Loop (SR-92) or the Cascade Scenic Drive from Midway, noting that these roads are closed in winter.
  • 3Budget for the American Fork Canyon day-use fee or bring your America the Beautiful interagency pass to display in your windshield.
  • 4Wear comfortable walking shoes or sandals, as the entire path consists of well-maintained wooden boardwalks and paved surfaces.
  • 5Bring a polarized lens for your camera to better capture the clarity of the water and the native trout swimming in the shallow pools.
  • 6Pack a small picnic to enjoy at the nearby grassy areas, but ensure all trash is packed out to protect the fragile spring ecosystem.
