Battle Creek Falls

Battle Creek Falls is a waterfall on the west skirt of Mount Timpanogos east of Pleasant Grove, Utah.

Battle Creek and its waterfall are located in a semi-arid to desert climate in one of the main canyons of the Timpanogos massif.

While flow is largest during the snow melt of the spring season, both the creek and the waterfall are perennial.

[6] Common trees include water birch, maple, Douglas fir, spruce, oak, aspen and cottonwood.

The name stems from the place where the 1849 Battle Creek massacre took place in which a small band of Ute people were surrounded and all the men killed by Mormon settlers under orders from the president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Brigham Young.
