Rocky Mouth Hike
If you're up for a short, easy hike with a big result at the end then you should check out the Rocky Mouth Trail in Sandy, Utah.
To give it a little perspective: it took us about 7 minutes to get to the top of the hike where the waterfall was.
And we stopped and checked out a few caves on our way. There's an old mine that you can go into a little bit before you hit a cement wall where the mine was sealed.
And then you end up at the waterfall on the next turn where you can play in the shallow river (depth depending on the season and year, of course) and you can even climb up a level into the waterfall.
To also give it a little perspective, we had a two year old with us and she did just fine. There's a lot of steps involved which was a lot of work for her little legs, but seriously, it's 7 minutes to the top.
A quarter of a mile to be more exact.
The trailhead is located near 11248 S. Wasatch Blvd. (directly East of the LDS Chapel). It's just right on Wasatch Blvd. You hike up a length of wooden stairs into a neighborhood, walk up the street and enter the rest of the trail from there.
Jayme was the only one out of my crew who made the hike with me, but we're thinking we need to take the rest of The Circus with us soon.
