Donut Falls Summer Trailhead — photo spot in Salt Lake City, UT 84121, USA
Donut Falls Summer Trailhead
Score4.5Short, family-friendly hike in Big Cottonwood Canyon to a unique alcove waterfall that pours through a rock slot — great for close-up long exposures, textured rock, and seasonal contrast (snowmelt in late spring, lush summer, colorful fall). Trailhead parking at the canyon road; expect crowds on summer weekends so aim for weekdays or early morning. No special permits for day visits; trail is short but uneven near the falls — sturdy shoes recommended.
