Rainbow Falls is a rushing small waterfall that you can reach via a short hike with some minor elevation gain. If you want to stretch your legs a bit, why not take the loop hike right away? It will give you some beautiful views.

At Rainbow Falls, the roaring waters of Twentyone Mile Creek cascade steeply down the narrow gorge in several spectacular cascades and steps – a total drop of about 27 meters. The mountain stream flows about 100 meters down into Alta Creek, which connects Alta Lake with Green Lake.
Rainbow Falls can be visited at any time of year; the water levels in Twentyone Mile Creek are at their highest in May and early June, and at their lowest during the summer months. In winter, the creek's water may be frozen. (Visit May 29, 2025)
