The Waterfall Canyon trail in Ogden is a beautiful little trail that climbs up a canyon to the areas largest waterfall (or at least the largest I have seen in the area). The trail is popular and sees a fair amount of traffic. Just over 2.5 miles round trip, it's kid friendly and dogs are also allowed. Gene,Varena, Holly Ty and myself carpooled to the 29th St. trailhead in Ogden where we met up with the Davis County hiking meet-up group and spent the morning on the trail. The trail follows the stream to the falls at the top. I had heard the waterfall was 200 feet high, and I was prepared to be impressed, but when we actually reached it, it was thrilling. Beautiful, wide, dramatic. Though we didn't do it, I was told you could climb up the cliffs to the south of the waterfall in order to get up and on top of the falls. Gene did really well with his broken hip still healing. On the way down it started hailing, but we were prepared for rain and just enjoyed the greenery. Found one tree with a huge swarm of bees in a bundle around the trunk. I haven't seen that before. Takes about 2 hours to hike. To get to the trailhead just follow 29th St. all the way to the foothills. The trailhead is well developed and is a trailhead for a handful of hikes in the area. Plenty of parking. No bathroom or water.
