Sun Jun 28 2020Great in and out trail ! Starts mellow and follows a drainage/ River most of the way up the the hike I’d recommend 3 hours min and bug spray a must. snack at the top. Waterfall on the right 2/3 of the way up. Nice breeze and view of Vegas from the top... which is nice because you will be working sweating at little when you arrive. Bring plenty of water. You can park at the trail head. Trail is well maintained easily marked. Highly recommend great half day!
Mon May 25 2020Great 5 mi hike. Well marked. Steep incline midway alongside beautiful cascades. Lookout offered terrific view of RutVegas!
Sun May 24 2020Very nice trail and a lots to see! It starts out pretty easy and works it’s way gradually to being a little steep. Definitely would recommend doing this trail.
Fri May 08 2020A bit muddy at the bottom. good deal going up but worth it when you come to the awesome Cascade on the Right. Was a little disappointed with the view to the East. View spur to the SW gives a good overlook of Rutland.
Sat Apr 25 2020So, as a beginner, I found this hike to be pretty challenging. The blue markings need to be redone (especially near the lookout). I ended up bushwhacking a bit to get to the lookout because the trail wasn’t clearly marked. Snow at the top made it a bit icy and slippery. A few streams to cross made it interesting. The boards used to cross over muddy areas definitely need to be replaced. The waterfall was beautiful. Quite a few steep areas and a lot of rocks to cross over.
Fri Apr 24 2020Fun trail. I could see it getting overgrown in summer but fun to follow route. Lots of jumping on rocks and over logs. Beautiful cascades. Runnable first first half mile. Took us 2 hours at a fairly fast pace and 5 min to enjoy Rutland overlook from top. Going to be a lot more muddy once things thaw out. Still fairly frozen.
Thu Apr 23 2020Great hike on April 22. The majority of the trail was still snow covered but we were okay with just hiking boots. Up and back took us 2 hours and 20 minutes including eating lunch at the vista point. We saw one other person on the trail. The vista had a beautiful overlook of the town and mountains, although the trees definitely block the view some.The cascades featured mid-trail were lovely as well. We recommend!
Sun Nov 17 2019Great trail even with some snow. Decent overlook, great little waterfalls. A lot of brook crossing and blow downs to swing over.
Mon Nov 04 2019Nice trail! Summit views were a little over grown. The waterfalls were beautiful! Would recommend, nice solo hike!
Sat Oct 12 2019What a beautiful afternoon hike today was on the Canty Trail. It was quiet with only a few other hikers. It was just rugged enough to get a good workout. The view from the vista was phenomenal, and the falls were enchanting.
Thu Oct 10 2019was absolutely gorgeous trail to walk on and look at fall foliage. Very rocky so I recommend shoes with good ankle support. cascade was a great spot to take a break half way up. will defiantly be going back!
Sun Sep 08 2019It was awesome! There are not many people coming to this trail but it was great. I saw a bear on the way up :)
Sun Sep 01 2019Great hiking trail. There is a stop at the waterfall cascade and a view of Rutland at the top vista, but the real highlight is the excellent trail.
Sun Sep 01 2019Perfect moderate trail, decent Vista, loved it! Not heavily trafficed.
Thu Aug 29 2019Great trail, accurately advertised by others here. Highly recommended -- didn't see another soul, but really enjoyed the solitude.
Mon Aug 19 2019Sat Aug 10 2019Due to some rain unable to finish the trail but I’ll be back. It was a nice tree covered trail making it cool on the warmest days.
Sat Jul 27 2019Wed Jul 24 2019Nice hike, actual trailhead and parking is a little further down the road than where this app brings you
Wed Jul 10 2019trial head moved about .5 mile north. Beautiful hike all up hill past the big cascade .
Mon Jul 01 2019trail was nice falls were cool had no views at the summit because I was fogged in but still a nice hike 6/30/19
Mon Jun 17 2019trail is not marked well especially at the summit but the falls are pretty
Sat Jun 08 2019I love the variety of terrain on this trail as well as the quiet location and lack of people. A well marked trail with a medium sized waterfall halfway to the summit. I'm not a fast or slow hiker. It took two hours to get to the top and had a nice view.
