Climb the Via Ferrata at Waterfall Canyon
Experience the thrill of a protected climbing route using iron rungs and cables on the sheer cliffs overlooking Ogden, just north of SLC.
Itinerary tips
- 1Book your excursion through Utah Adventure Center as this specific route is located on private property and requires a guided reservation.
- 2Allocate at least 3 to 4 hours for the entire experience, which includes the approach hike, the technical climb, and the descent.
- 3Wear stiff-soled hiking boots or approach shoes to maintain comfort while standing on the narrow iron rungs.
- 4Pack a small, secure backpack with at least two liters of water and high-energy snacks, as the physical exertion in the sun is significant.
- 5Arrive early to the designated meeting point at the 29th Street Trailhead in Ogden to ensure a prompt start before the afternoon heat.
- 6Bring a camera with a wrist strap to capture the unique aerial views of the 200-foot waterfall without risking a drop.
