ROCK CANYON REVIEWS
Great hiking. Bring an umbrella it is worth it. There is a nice little creek, depending on the time if year, that gives you an opportunity to cool off. We went mid June so the creek was still flowing. There is a Park as well as a Conyon. The a canyon is the hike the park is the grassy hidden park away from the traffic. It is kind of in a bowl with a little creek. The best place for ice blocking. We also saw other with a slip and slide type contraption that worked very well.
Awesome large park with hiking trails, pavilions, playgrounds, etc. There is a large 'bowl' which was used for the outside Hope of America program (2021 Covid restrictions). It was great for this and they even brought in a helicopter to celebrate the legacy of the 'candy bomber'.
A great place for hiking, having fun, relaxing, amazing views, new playgrounds for kids to enjoy, and have lots of picnic tables around the whole park! I would recommend this park!!

Scout Falls is a well-maintained hiking trail in Provo, UT. The trailhead is beautiful and leads to American Fork Canyon and Scout Falls. Scout Falls is also accessible from Provo Canyon. It starts at the foot of Mount Timpanogos, at the Timpooneke Trailhead. Although this trail has an elevation climb, it is relatively steep. A few damp areas of the trail are from little waterfalls up near the top. To traverse to drier land, you can pause on a rock. In the trail to reach a higher ledge, there is one area where you must climb up over some tree roots. The Timpooneke Trailhead in American Fork Canyon, also reachable from Provo Canyon via the Alpine Loop, serves as the trail's starting point.

SCOUT FALLS TRAIL REVIEWS
One of my favorite short hikes in the area. Springtime the falls are gushing all over the rocks and absolutely amazing. The fall the colors contrast with the rock cliffs. It's beautiful no matter when you go here. Special day today as we scattered our little bud named Charlie. He was a good dog and let his spirit entertain you as you wander through this beautiful place! Shall you all have a little bit more happiness as you head home.
Great, moderate hike. Beautiful views, and a great drive to get to the trailhead and back. We went late afternoon on a Friday /holiday and ran into quite a few hikers but still had time to ourselves.
Great hike and in the afternoon mostly in the shade, 6 year old handled it with no problem. 3 miles round trip from parking lot to falls. Some small water runoff patches on the trail.

The BYU symbol was constructed as this hillside letter more than a century ago. The hike to the Y has long been one of Utah Valley's most popular hiking routes because it offers a beautiful perspective of Provo, Orem, the remainder of the valley's numerous communities, and Utah Lake. The trail is also frequently used by hikers, bicyclists, paragliders, and hunters to access the wilderness in the Slide Canyon region.

Y TRAILHEAD REVIEWS
Y Trailhead was such a great Hike to do! It’s definitely a must if you’re a outdoor lover. It has a total of 13 turns to make it to the very top of the Y. There’s Lots of signs with information about the Y’s history, distance, altitude and some of the wild life, plants and trees in the area. I very much enjoyed this hike. Will definitely be doing it again.
It's a great hike if you are looking for something short but difficult. Plan on 35 - 50 minutes up and the same going down. There are 13 switchbacks to the top of the Y. It IS uphill all the way. I am using it to get back in shape after my knee replacements. Surprisingly, there are people who can run it both directions!
Awesome trailhead that can take you north or south on the Bonneville Shoreline Trail, or straight up to the Y. Past the Y you enter Slide Canyon and can access a networks of other hikes. Great views of Utah Lake.
