day hike - adams canyon - October 11, 2026

Adams Canyon Trail in Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest is a scenic trail along the North Fork of Holmes Creek. The route takes you to the 40-foot Adams Waterfall. The trail is one of the most popular hikes in Davis County. The beginning of the route consists of steep switchbacks and plateaus as you work your way into the canyon past the Bonneville Shoreline Trail. Parking is available at the Adams Canyon Trailhead off North Eastside Drive just outside of Layton. Text me if you plan to attend.
