The Trail This moderate trail is about one mile long with a 485 ft elevation change. However, if you have an ATV to drive up to the cabin area or beyond, you can cut the hiking distance dramatically and arrive at the waterfall in only 0.6 miles to 0.2 miles. Just be aware that most of the climbing in the trail occurs during this latter section of the trail, picking up mostly after the cabin. The trail will take you to a spectacular 75 ft tall waterfall and past another waterfall on your way there across the canyon from the trail.

The trail starts at Pine Creek Bridge where there is a dirt parking area. There are also trail maps available here. After parking, head right up the rocky ATV road for about 0.4 miles. There is only about a 100 ft elevation gain during this section of road. If you have an ATV vehicle, you can drive up this part and park right after the old cabin...perhaps further but there is less parking area later on as far as we could see. Vehicles larger than an ATV should park at the Pin Creek Bridge. We walked around this area (shown in green in the maps above) to peer into the empty rooms of the cabin and peek into the dilapidated outhouse.

Right after the cabin appears to be a trailhead of sorts with a sign signifying the distances of different trails.

Distance listed here to Bullion Falls at least is
inaccurate; it is only 0.6 miles from this point

The trail continuing on from here still appears to be a wider ATV trail until you reach the Miner's Park Trailhead (marked by the blue flag in the topographical map above). There are some other trails turning off of this one, but hikers should stay on 074 to reach Bullion Falls. About 0.8 miles from the Pine Creek Bridge Trailhead (and about 0.4 miles from the old cabin) hikers can view Cascade Falls across the canyon. Since we were there in November, there simply wasn't much to see there, but it is a nice bonus waterfall at other times of the year.

Soon after Cascade Falls hikers will reach Miners Park Trailhead. From here the ATV trail stops and a normal hiking trail begins. In another tenth of a mile, Bullion Falls appears. Bullion Canyon Trail (indicated in red in the maps above) continues to the right, but a spur takes hikers to some great views of the falls. Be prepared for some rock scrambling, especially if you plan to get down to the base of the falls (which we did not). Others have said a rope is available to help those who want to go down get there, though we didn't see one during our trip. As always, be very cautious when using ropes left by others and test them before trusting them.

Directions
This trail is located just outside Marysvale in Piute County, Utah. To get there, head to Marysvale along Hwy 89. Once in Marysvale, turn west on Bullion Ave. (When we were there, this street was not well labeled; it is one street south of 100 N and one street north of Rio Grande Ave.) Continue just past a church on your right and turn left onto Bullion Canon Rd. Continue along this road up the canyon to the trailhead. There is a dirt parking area at Pine Creek Bridge and trail maps are also available here. Keeping left and continuing that direction will take you to Miner's Park, but the ATV road to the right will take you to Bullion Falls. Please note that only small ATV's are permitted on the ATV road. Most people hike up from the parking area at Pine Creek Bridge. GPS Coordinates: N38° 24.859' W112° 19.635'
