Rocky Mouth Falls is a beautiful waterfall located in Draper Utah. The falls have really easy access and the trail to the falls is really short and very pretty! It, however, IS NOT very stroller friendly. (Yes we did haul a baby in a stroller up to the falls, it was pretty awesome).

I can tell when summer is here when I can start going on week day adventures to the local waterfalls! It is one of my very favorite things! Rocky Mouth proved to be a really fun evening activity with some friends and their Family.

Canyoneering with with a baby and a stroller! I LOVE this picture. Nothing says MANLY more than a dad pushing a stroller with his helmet and backpack on!

Walking up and around the cliffs to get to the falls.

Not even sure this rapple is even needed. BUT we like to rappel, so we do it anyway. I down climbed this first section really easy with out a rope.

[Brian in SLC]

Fun gig, nice TR!

[jman]

It is a good one. Short and to the point.

Good pics, especially the backpack on and pushing the stroller.

[Iceaxe]

With temps expected to top 100 this week it might be a good time to hit the falls. :2thumbs:

Rocky Mouth Route Description (http://climb-utah.com/WM/rockymouth.htm)

[jeremy1701]

Thanks for all the info. We're thinking of doing Rocky Mouth while we're out in SLC this weekend!! Looks great and perfect for the forecast :cool2:

EDIT:
What crazy weather there was this weekend! When we left the car for the falls, it was 95 and sunny. By the time we reached the arete, the temperature had dropped to 85 and the clouds were threatening rain. A flash of lightening off in the distance encouraged us to retreat and save this awesome looking rap for a future adventure.
