Before you go

Waterfalls are hazardous by nature — wet rock, cold water, and unstable edges — and flow varies enormously with season and recent rain. Trail figures here describe the route as documented, not conditions today. Check Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest (USFS) for closures and current conditions, and confirm land status before setting out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Stewart Falls drops about 200 feet. That makes it the 82nd-tallest documented waterfall in this inventory, taller than roughly 89% of the falls listed here. Height comes from published land-manager and survey records, not from our own measurement.

The Stewart Falls Trail (Stewart Cascade Trail #056) reaches it about 3.5 miles (out-and-back) with roughly 700 feet of elevation gain, rated moderate. The nearest town is Provo. That describes the route as documented, not conditions on the day — check with Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest (USFS) for closures and current conditions.

Late spring to fall (May-October). Waterfall flow swings enormously with snowmelt and recent rain, so a fall that roars in spring can be a trickle by late summer.
