Battle Creek out of Pleasant Grove

Location: Just east of Pleasant Grove

Directions: Go east on 200 S Pleasant Grove/ also known as Battle Creek Drive

Difficulty: medium - its a gravel path and it almost entirely uphill with an easy grade most of the time - a little steeper at the end.

Duration: about 1 1/2 miles makes it about about an hour and a half leisurely hike from the park trail head and back if you don't hang out at the falls

Special considerations: There is a really nice picnic/ bbq area at the park by the trail head but I found the bathrooms to be totally unacceptable - and I am pretty liberal in what I consider to be an ok facility. We didn't picnic or bbq - just hiked as our kids were rappelling and we came along to watch and take pictures. We were a little slow getting there so - no rappelling for us. But they had fun and so did a lot of other people.
Dog Friendly - leashed and pick up after your pet.
Good for rappelling as there are hooks in the rock at the top. Not too high, not too little, a little free rappelling over the overhang and you will probably get a little wet with the spray depending on the time of year and how heavy the flow of the water is.
