Hiking To Stewart Falls – Utah

Video I took of Stewart Falls flowing hard!

Stewart Falls is an amazingly beautiful multi-tiered waterfall near Sundance, Utah. The falls are accessible from trailheads at Sundance or the Aspen Grove parking area. I have hiked to Stewart Falls from both Sundance and Aspen Grove. They are both pretty simple for people who hike a lot, but the trail from Sundance is easier for the more casual hiker.

Distant views of the falls are awesome from both approaches, but the view from Sundance gives hikers a look from the falls all the way up to the Big Provo Cirque on Mt. Timpanogos. The trail from Aspen is about a 3.5 mile round trip. From Sundance the distance is a bit shorter.

Aspen Grove is also the trailhead for the Mt. Timpanogos Trail. There are some smaller, but amazing, waterfalls on this trail with the first being just a mile or so up the trail.

There is a fee to park at Aspen Grove, which is paid at a toll booth on the Alpine Scenic Loop. Before you go, check weather, pack snacks, water and sunscreen. To see the trailhead from Aspen Grove click for a map.

The images and video are all from my hike to Stewart Falls in mid-June of 2024.
