This is a very easy and short .3 mile (one way) trail that is perfect for families or as short side trip while traveling up the Nebo Scenic Loop. There is only about a 106 foot elevation change to the waterfall, often called Grotto Falls, at the end. The trail is mostly shaded. It follows a pleasant babbling stream, which it crosses a number of times over log and plank bridges, all the way up to the grotto area .
This trail is open to horses and bikes, but it is too short to make it worth doing on its own by those means.
