Car graveyard3/11/2023 ![]() The trial starts in the North East corner of the parking lot. Just drive up Farmington Canyon Road passed this sign 1.6 miles to the trailhead parking lot. We have included detailed in directions below. We give it 10 stars! Can't wait to go again. All of these things make for a good hike in our book, but even without the cars, this hike was incredible! The views were gorgeous and the trail was easy enough for the littles but hard enough to feel like a real-deal hike. There is also a trail along the river but it was getting dark so we will have to try that next time.This was such a fun hike! Yes, it was a car graveyard. We have never seen it before, but since the canyon road was closed and we had to walk it, we found this beautiful bridge. We also found this bridge on the way back to the parking lot. The waterfall was ROARING! It was so insane! Just standing next to it we can completely soaked! Because we all know southern Utah takes the cake for having the best hikes. This hike went from being one of my favorites to possible my all time favorite "local" hike. Thanks to whoever put this rope up for us! I would say 5 and under might need to be carried or helped. Depending on you kid, they could make it down with assistance. The decent to reach the falls is very steep. At this point you will be able to hear the waterfall. But at that point in the hike we decided to follow our instincts (that still small voice of warning) and high tale in out of there! (we will go back and confirm the other cars and update here).Ĭross over the small river and continue on the path. We felt very safe on this hike although we didn't see any other hikers. My son and I got a super creeped out feeling and felt like we needed to leave this area immediately. On the left of the river you will see car #5.Īt this point we could see several other things to the right of this car that looked to be more cars and also a blue tarp. It looks like a truck that has been folded in half.Ĭontinue up the trail and you will see another small river. It's super old and full of bullet holes.Ĭar #4 will be a little further up on your left. This car is cool because it has suicide doors. You will be walking along a ledge and when you reach the trees keep an eye out to the right where you will find car #2 which is an old VW Bug! This was our first time seeing this car and we were SO excited!Ī little way up further you will find what we thought was car #2, but has now been named #3 since we found the bug. (word on the street is that there is another car or two above this first car, we will go again and confirm and update).Īfter crossing the river with the first car head east into the canyon following the main trail. This is still car #1, it is located above the waterfall at the 2nd river crossing. ![]() You definitely want to take this hike in the spring to catch the spring run off to get the full effect of the waterfall, but any time is going to be beautiful. I was shocked to not only find more cars but also repel down a steep cliff to find a GIANT waterfall! But I have always gone with kids so we always ended up turning around after spotting the cars.Īs in the previous post, I thought there were 3 cars on this hike, but going in the spring you can spot more because the leaves haven't all grown in yet. I couldn't believe I had been on this hike so many times but never saw the waterfall. I went the next week with just my oldest son because I heard there is a HUGE waterfall on this hike. When we got to the second river, the water was crazy high in the river and I didn't feel like it was safe to pass with 5 kids. The gate was closed to the canyon road so we had to park at the bottom and walk a mile up to the trail head. We have never been in the spring, so this year we went in April, as soon as the snow was melted. We go every fall because it's a little spooky with all the old crashed cars that have fallen off the canyon road above. One of our favorite hikes in the fall is the Car Graveyard Hike in Farmington.
