Monks Hollow is a campground and trailhead in Diamond Fork Canyon.

This trail, which is also an ATV route, begins in a grassy meadow and then makes a steep climb through scattered maple and scrub oak, eventually leveling out into a gently climbing trail.  This trail provides a panoramic view of Diamond Fork and the surrounding mountain ranges.  At the end of the six mile trek, the Monks Hollow Trail ends and the Longs Hollow Trail begins.

A couple cool mines I was checking out in Diamond Fork Canyon, they are across the canyon from each other, the one on the south side of the canyon is across the river from the road and the other is above the road – both are easy to miss if you aren’t watching.

The Fifth Water Hot Springs / Hot Pots and the nearby waterfall are a fun place to relax and play.  It’s a couple miles+ one way from the parking lot in Diamond Fork Canyon and a very well used trail. It is often mistakenly called Diamond Fork Hot Springs, Spanish Fork Hot Springs and others but Fifth Water is the real name.

It’s also well known for nudists, lots of rumors that the local law enforcement try to stop it but be warned if you’re offendable.

Diamond Fork Sun Carving

Up Diamond Fork Canyon (Off of Spanish Fork Canyon) you can go to Red Ledges and hike up into the red rock and see a sun and moon carved in the cliff.   I’ve read books that claim the sun carving is a clue from the Spaniards to their old gold mines, I have heard that the moon appears to be more recent and not authentic.

My friend Russ Eager told me that he’s seen a sun carving across the canyon from this one, I’d love to go see it.

Either way it’s a pretty cool thing to see and red ledges is a fun place to play.
