I've been wanting to get up to see this waterfall for some time and Sunday evening worked out to be the day. I got to the trailhead about 8:30 and hoofed it up to the falls and set up to get these shots. It was about 9:15 when I got back to the truck and headed for home. A nice little spot and close to home. I came back with some descent shots.

You had better light when you went than I did :)

It's a great hike for kids.

Here are some of my shots that include the hike up to it. http://www.flickr.com/photos/ryebrye/sets/72157624123587441/

I'm jealous of your waterfall shots. I'll have to go back sometime without the kids to get better light on the falls now :)

http://www.utahhikinginfo.com/2009/07/grotto-payson-canyon.html are the directions I used.

Here's a gpx track I took when I did it with my kids up on Google My Maps so you can get an idea where the turnoff is.

If you drop the little street view dude on the google map by where I have the start and end points listed, you can even get a good idea of what the parking / trailhead place looks like so you have an easier time recognizing it when you get there... but it's easy to find just by the description.

I got skunked on light when I went here last month, I even spent 4 hours in the area and hiked it a second time but still no dice... The most interesting shot was this one where my 3yo walked into the frame and tipped over.
