It’s the perfect time of year for a short, easy stroll through Utah’s vibrant fall foliage. If you’re looking for a trail that’s perfect for everyone, head to Cascade Springs.
The Alpine Loop is one of Utah’s most popular leaf-peeping byways, and now’s the time to see the leaves in all their fall splendor. Along the way, you might want to stop at Cascade Springs for a quick hike.

Cascade Springs has three different loop trails, for a total of less than one mile. Two of the loops are fully handicapped-accessible; the other loop is easy enough for most others.

You’ll want to allow at least an hour or two to explore Cascade Springs. Though the walk won’t take long, you’ll want to stop along the way to snap plenty of photos.

Perhaps you’ll see a moose! Plenty of moose call this canyon home, and if you’re lucky, you might find one feeding on the tender reeds and grasses in the pools here.
