If heading north on I-15 from Salt Lake City, use the right lane to take Exit 324 (US-89 N) toward I-84 E / South Ogden. Merge onto Park Lane, and keep right at Exit 395, following signs for UT-225 E / Farmington. Merge onto UT-225 E (Park Lane).

Turn right onto Main Street and go for 0.3 miles.

Turn left onto N 100 E / Farmington Canyon Rd. Follow this road for just under a mile; the Lower Trailhead will be on the right here with a parking area and dirt road that continues heading south. This is just before a gate on the Farmington Canyon Road.

Standard Trailhead
If the road is open, continue up the paved Farmington Canyon road for 0.8 mile to where it turns to dirt at a switchback. There is a small parking area on the right that is the standard trailhead.

Upper Trailhead
The upper trailhead requires driving on some washboard dirt road. Medium clearance is recommended but usually not required. The upper trailhead is an additional 3.6 miles above the standard trailhead. There is a small pullout here on the right that fits several cars. This used to be the Sunset Campground, but it is now closed and reclaimed.

Lower Trailhead to Trailhead (0.9 mile)
If parking at the lower trailhead, walk up the Farmington Canyon road for just under a mile to where the paved road turns to dirt on the first major switchback. There is a small dirt parking area on the right. This is the trailhead.

Trailhead to Falls (1.5 miles)
The signed trail leaves this small parking area, climbs steeply for a minute, then heads up Farmington Canyon. Within just a few minutes of leaving the trailhead, there is a cave on the left side of the trail that is full of graffiti.

The trail, high on the slope, has great views down into Farmington Creek and the Great Salt Lake to the west. From the trailhead, after about 0.7 miles, you will reach a junction with the Aqueduct Trail. Stay left here.

About 0.9 miles from the trailhead, the trail crosses a small side stream and continues angling up Farmington Canyon. There are a couple of old tires here, but no cars that I saw.

About 1.3 miles from the trailhead, you will pass the first old wrecked car of the hike that presumably rolled down from the Farmington Canyon road high above. There are 2 more before reaching the falls.

At about 1.5 miles from the trailhead, a side trail zigzags a short distance down to the falls.

The 13 m ( 43 ft. ) falls are quite stunning, especially in high spring flows!

Upper Trailhead (0.5 mile from the falls side trail)
From the falls side trail, you can continue up the main trail a couple of minutes (600 feet) to a trail junction. Go left here to climb to an old campground (now closed and reclaimed) and the Farmington Canyon road. It is about 1/2 mile one way from the falls side trail to the Upper Trailhead and the Farmington Canyon Road. If you want a shorter route to the falls, you can start from the Upper Trailhead and return the same way.
