The 10 Best Waterfalls in Utah

Provo Canyon's 607-foot double veil, visible from your car — mid-rebuild through 2027 but never out of view.

Lower Calf Creek: six sandy miles past pictographs to a 126-foot desert falls with a swimmable green pool. Escalante's masterpiece.

Kanarra: wade a glowing red slot to a waterfall with a bolted ladder — permit-capped at 200 people a day, book ahead.

Doughnut Falls, where the creek drills through a cave roof — easy family walk, but no dogs and no wading, by watershed law.

Stewart Falls' 200-foot veil off Timpanogos — pay the Alpine Loop toll for the short way or hike free from Sundance.

Provo River Falls: granite-ledge cascades at 10,000 feet on the Mirror Lake Highway, picnic-distance from the car, June–October only.

Malan's 200-foot fountain above Ogden, straight from a city street — a thousand feet of climbing with the valley as scoreboard.

Adams Canyon: Layton's sandy-switchback classic to a 40-foot Wasatch falls, with a lower falls for the short-day crowd.

Horsetail Falls fanning over Lone Peak granite — the hard-earned June plume above Alpine.

The accidental falls: rerouted in 1962 beside Highway 24 at Capitol Reef, five steps from parking — and strictly no entry into the pool that's nearly drowned swimmers.
