Family Friendly The Cascades Trail is 3-4 feet in width and has a smooth to variable natural surface with some roots and rocks and gentle to moderate ups and downs.

Trailheads are located in parking areas for the Bishopric Lifelong Learning Center on the south side of campus and Science Building on the north side of campus. College buildings are typically closed on weekends, and no restrooms are available on site.

Description

The Cascades Trail is accessed from the Woodlands Trail closest to the Bishopric Trailhead. Hike approximately 0.5 miles on the Woodlands Trail and go left at the Woodlands Trail/Cascades Trail intersection. The Cascades Trail is a lasso loop. For the most direct route to the cascades, turn left at the next trail intersection. Make sure to hike the short spur (left) down the stone steps to the viewing platform for the cascades.

If you follow this route to the cascades and back, it is a total of 1.9 miles. If you complete the entire lasso loop, the total length from the trailhead is 2.25 miles.
