I am very behind on posting, I apologize! This one will probably be short, since I am behind and I am bogged down with work.
Two weeks ago, Zach and I decided to take a short hike near Provo. We have yet to explore many of the trails near Provo, so we were excited to take an adventure. After some researching, we decided to traverse to Pleasant Grove, Utah to hike Battle Creek Falls. It is apparently called Battle Creek Falls because there was some kind of battle between Mormon pioneers and Indians around that spot (I do not know the details). It is a short hike, and not too strenuous. Alltrails.com says it is 0.5 miles out-and-back, but it seemed to be more like 0.5 miles one-way (1 mile total). Either way, it was short! It was beautiful, and I was definitely not disappointed.
It starts at Kiwanis Park, which is nice. I would not mind even coming back to this park to relax sometime. It is an easy hike, and once you get to the large waterfall, it is breath taking. Zach and I continued hiking past the waterfall, because the trail continued. We eventually turned around after another half a mile, but the trail looked like it continued for a long ways. As we hiked past the large waterfall, we found several smaller waterfalls. The entire hike was splendid.
I definitely recommend this hike. I feel like many people can do it, whether it be little kids or older folks. I would not mind doing it again – it would be a good hike to do on weekdays if I ever wanted to take a short hike.
