Notes: Bells Canyon Trail is a short and challenging hike in the Wasatch Mountains. Starting from the parking lot, you will first reach the Lower Bell Canyon Reservoir. Continuing through the canyon from here, the hike is rocky and steep. This route terminates at the lower falls which is a great spot for a break after the quick elevation gain. There are great views throughout the hike of the surrounding canyon and cityscapes below. Since this trail lies within a protected watershed, dogs and swimming are not permitted in the area.
