Message from Kate Outdoors

Mill Creek Trail is a great waterfall hike in Moab that is fun for the whole family and perfect for hiking with dogs in warm weather. You’re guaranteed to get wet on this hike, so it’s best completed during warm weather. This is one of the few hikes that I recommend doing with dogs during the summer (and I'd still recommend an early start).

In order to get to Mill Creek Falls you’ll have to cross two water crossings. The first occurs at a junction in the canyon and is marked by a sign warning hikers that they will get wet. The first water crossing is the deeper of the two. It’s easily navigable throughout most of the year, but during spring runoff it can get deep.
