Bullion Falls Waterfall in Smithfield, Utah

Bullion Falls in Utah offers a rewarding hike with impressive views, nestled just outside the city. The trail is moderately challenging with steep sections, and while the signage could be better, the path is clearly marked once you find the starting point behind a shed and across the creek. Hikers will enjoy unique sights along the way, like an abandoned cabin and a ghost town, which add to the adventure. While the waterfall itself is quite striking, especially in July, it's important to note that reaching the base involves using a rope handrail, making it somewhat challenging for younger children unless carried by an adult.
