DONUT FALLS | BIG COTTONWOOD CANYON

On a hikeabout in Big Cottonwood Canyon, we ventured to Donut Falls. We hiked it and liked it. We're looking forward to heading back when the leaves change, and begin to carpet the canyon floor. This is an easy short hike to the falls, but can be a bit tricky to climb up once you get there.

Make sure to vear left 1/2 way up the mound of rocks, to find the cave opening. If you want to explore the cave wear your water shoes! The best part of hiking is the snacks, we bought the following goodies at Trader Joe's; a couple peaches, kale chips, freeze dried raspberries and trail mix.

Directions:
Take the I-215, exit 6200 S. Follow signs to Big Cottonwood Canyon. Heading up Big Cottonwood Canyon Rd. make a right onto Jordan Pines Rd. Head straight, continuing onto a dirt road, for about a mile. The trailhead is there, with plenty of parking and a loo. There are no dogs allowed in this canyon, because it is a watershed.
