We drove up the Alpine Loop Scenic Backway (Hwy 92) in Utah and stopped near Aspen Grove to hike out to Stewart Falls, 3.8 miles round trip with 600 ft of overall gain.
View of mountains with some fall color from the parking area
A beautiful hike through a mixed forest of deciduous trees and conifers.
We saw more fall color as we continued along the trail.
Throughout the hike, there were open areas with lovely mountain views.
We could hear the waterfall before we could see it.

There is lots of water coming off the falls.
