Diamond Fork (Fifth Water) Hot Springs

When you hike out to Diamond Fork aka Fifth Water hot springs, get ready for an amazing experience! The lower fall is visible from the main pool. If you want to continue to go further up the creek, you will run into the second fall, which is the most photogenic of them all. There are also two pools en route to the second fall. If you choose to continue a bit further, you’ll run into the last wa...

Rappel the Red Ledges

This is a sweet spot to go rappelling near Spanish Fork, UT. It's located at the Red Ledges in Diamond Fork Canyon. There is a picnic area, grill and restrooms near the base. The unique formations are beautiful to hike around and fun to rappel down. The hike is pretty short, but steep. We did the hike several times so we could rappel down multiple times.Take I-15 to US-6 (Price/Manti) Exit ...

Maple Mountain (aka Spanish Fork Peak)

The trail starts out very easy, but keep an eye out for the fork in the trail at the creek. It's easy to miss. It's right at the metal bench that will be on the left. Cross the creek and continue another quarter mile or so when you'll notice another branch to your left. Keep going straight here and the rest of the trail is easy to follow (minus the fallen trees across the trail). This trail is ...

It flourished for a time as a ranching community and eventually became a major stop on the rail line that ran through it. This all changed in 1983 when a massive landslide dammed the Spanish Fork River and flooded the town. Now there are only a few structures remaining, and most can be seen from the road. Most ...

Hike to the Summit of Buckley Mountain

There are a few ways to get to the top of Buckley, but the funnest (and most strenuous) way to get up to Buckley is taking the trail up Slate Canyon. Slate Canyon has a parking lot and bathroom located at the base of the trail, and the trailhead is about ten minutes from the Provo Center Street exit on 1-15. Park in the Slate Canyon parking lot and start up the trail. After about three miles of...

Hike Big Springs Hollow Loop

Arriving to Big Springs Hollow is relatively easy. Drive up Provo Canyon and turn right onto South Fork Rd at Vivian Park. As you pass Vivian Park, you'll continue for 3 miles on South Fork Rd until you reach Big Springs Park. Continue up to the Upper level parking and the trailhead will be in the SW corner. When we arrived early one Saturday, we found 4 or 5 tents scattered in camp sights ...
