Donut Falls

Fall Break consisted of a lot of outdoor activities.  I am absolutely obsessed with the mountains, hiking, and the warm Fall weather we are having this year.  The nice weather makes outdoor activities so much more enjoyable!
Our first day of Fall Break with hiked up to Donut Falls.  Donut Falls is a trail up Big Cottonwood Canyon.  It is very popular, since it is a fairly easy hike for all ages.  It was especially crowded today since kids had a day off of school.
The trail winds through woods and meadows and has beautiful views of the mountain terrain.  A stream runs down through the trail.  There is also a charming bridge that you cross on your way up to the falls. Once we reached the falls we crossed over to the east side of the stream to get a better view of the falls and the donut which the falls are named.  Many hikers were climbing up the rock to get a better view of the "donut hole".  It was very slippery, so we chose not to.  When I found out that part of the donut had broken off, I was happy we chose not to attempt the wet, slippery rocks.
