Stewart Falls is a two-tier waterfall over 200 feet tall on the east side of Mount Timpanogos. The Stewart Falls trail starts on the south side of the Aspen Grove Trailhead parking lot, near the pit toilet. The Mount Timpanogos trail also starts here, closer to the main road; do not take it. Stay on the main Stewart Falls trail as it climbs the hillside, rolls through aspens and then descends, more steeply and longer than expected, to a rocky outcrop with a view of the falls about 2 miles from the trailhead. The trail continues a short distance down to the stream bed and the base of the falls. Return the same way.
