Single Tree Falls, Natural waterfall in Wayne County, Utah
Description
Single Tree Falls is a waterfall in Wayne County that drops over multiple rock tiers, creating different water patterns as it descends. The formation sits within a layered landscape where water moves through stone at varying speeds depending on the season.
History
The waterfall developed over millions of years as water slowly carved through rock layers in the desert landscape of Wayne County. This erosion process created the stepped structure that exists today.
Culture
Nature photographers and environmental researchers regularly visit Single Tree Falls to document seasonal changes and water flow patterns in desert environments.
Practical
Visitors should wear sturdy shoes since the paths are rocky and can be slippery, and bring plenty of water. There is little natural shade in the area, so sun protection is important, particularly during midday hours.
Did you know?
Water volume changes dramatically between seasons, with spring snowmelt creating powerful flows while winter shows only thin streams. These extreme shifts mean each visit offers a different experience.
