We came here recently on a backpacking trek. I think that this is one of the most beautiful waterfalls I have ever seen. Make sure to get plenty of pictures. The waterfall is located in Naturalist Basin in the High Uintas Wilderness Area. You will need to do some planning before you start hiking. You can access the waterfall from either Mirror Lake or Hayden Pass (High Line Trailhead) It is closer to take the High Line Trail. You will turn off of the trail to the North about 4.5 to 5 miles in. You will hike about 2 miles on the Naturalist Basin Trail and the trail will split again. To get to this waymark you will have to take the left way. If you have extra time, fish up at Blue Lake. Then if you want to you can go back to the fork and take the right trail to Jordan Lake. I tried to make this a virtual cache on Geocaching.com but this is what I had to do. Take a picture of your group and paste it with your log.
