Lisa Falls

Lisa Falls is a beautiful, quick outing you can take up Little Cottonwood Canyon, near Salt Lake City.

Little Cottonwood Canyon is one of the most beautiful parts of the Salt Lake Valley. You are brought up into the majestic granite mountains of the Wasatch Front.

Once you park, you will enter into the woods and will pretty immediately hear the falls and know you are close. A little bit of rock scrambling, though not required, will bring you close to the falls. Enjoy some time listening to the power of the water and the good views of the mountains and mountain trees. 

Please be aware this is a watershed area. Dogs are not allowed, nor is swimming the water.
