Lisa Falls Little Cottonwood Canyon Utah in 360 Degrees
It is SPRING, and with it brings buds blooming, and bursting Waterfalls that are prettier than ever. It has put me on a super fun hunt for Waterfalls. Lisa Falls is one that I have done before, but I did a bad job on the post and really wanted a redo. Isn't it great when we have chances to do a redo in life. I am so grateful for our Savior Jesus Christ that makes it so that when I mess up or things just didn't go so great, I can get forgiveness and pick myself up and try again to do better.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE HIKE
This hike is just up about 3 miles in Little Cottonwood canyon on the right hand side. You don't want to go to the top of the falls unless you have climbing gear and are trained, but the hike to the bottom of the falls is a super easy Family Friendly hike that is amazing. I love the big boulders that if you choose you can try out some easy bouldering. This waterfall is totally unique falling down huge slabs of granite, and doing a sharp turn in the middle. It is probably one of my favorite waterfalls in Utah for its uniqueness and that you can get so close to it.

I knew this hike to the Waterfall is short, and I am definitely chasing the waterfalls right now in early Spring, so I paired this hike with Rocky Mouth Falls a short distance away. Both are short hikes to beautiful waterfalls. Check out Rocky Mouth Falls here.

GATE BUTTRESS or GATE BOULDERS Little Cottonwood Canyon
I got done with Lisa Falls and Rocky Mouth Falls, and I was real happy that there was still more sunlight and I still had some energy. Every time I drive up Little Cottonwood Canyon my jaw drops with the beauty of the huge White Granite walls on the North side of the canyon. I noticed a parking lot close to this area just below Lisa Falls, and since I had more sunlight I was thrilled to check this area out.
Gate Buttress or Gate Boulders area is land owned by The Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It is such an amazing area, that the Salt Lake Climbers climbers really wanted to climb it and put safe hooks in the mountain to keep climbers safe. In 2012, the church grated this section of their property to be accessed by climbers and hikers.

INFORMATION ON TRAIL
I am sure this hike could normally be a pretty tricky hike and easy to roll your foot on the big boulders that cover the mountain, but if you watch for the brown sign poles you will notice the trail has been made to be quite simple. The church has taken boulders with weird angles on the top and used tools to make them flat on the top, so it is almost like climbing a few flights of stairs (If you stay on the trail.)

If you are enjoying my photos, videos, and 360's, this world of mine started with my Pixel Phone. I love it. I love what I can do with photos, I love the 360 Spheres I can create. Great phone. So glad I got it. It was a surprisingly seamless transition from iPhone, and I love it so much better! Free storage on photos, Fi service has been nice to only pay for the data I use. I get great photos. It has been a happy trade for me.
