Cascade Springs is an artesian spring that dribbles over terraces nestled between Wasatch Mountain State Park and the Alpine Loop Scenic Drive in Wasatch County. The riparian area around it makes for excellent wildflower viewing by summer and excellent leaf peeping by fall. As of Monday, the aspens still were glowing, but the maples were mostly spent; get out there soon to see the height of its autumn glory.

Due to the ecological sensitivity of the area, hikers are asked to stay on the main trail, and picnicking is not allowed.

The springs can be reached from Midway, via Cascade Springs Drive/State Road 220, which heads west into the mountains from Stringtown Road, just north of the Soldier Hollow golf course.
