Cascade Falls GPX Track

I need to offset my substantial website costs somehow! You can download a hike/drive GPX to assist you here. Before sharing my GPX tracks with others, please remember my site is otherwise a free resource.

The popular trail to Cascade Falls has really nice views for its entirety, consisting of forested drops and crumbling bright red sandstone cliffs, as well as of Zion National Park in the distance. The first bit of the hike leads through sparsely-vegetated forest before hugging the base of the cliffs. After all too short a walk, I reached Cascade Falls. The falls themselves at the end of the trail aren't particularly impressive since you only get to see the opening where the water runs out after flowing undergorund from Navajo Lake, but it's still a cool feature to see water tumbling out of a big hole in the cliff face. The water cascades down the slope, but the trail doesn't lead past here.
