(Is this the same hike??)
Grove Creek Spring Indian Springs Trail is a 5.7 mile moderately trafficked out and back trail located near Pleasant Grove, UT that features a waterfall and is rated as moderate. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible from March until October. Dogs are also able to use this trail.
The trail up grove creek canyon has lots of switchbacks, minor river crossings, great views, and a nice spring at the end of the hike. This trail sits under MT. Timpanogos and has a great view of Utah valley.

A decent hike! I agree with the "moderate" rating. There isn't much shade so go early to avoid the heat. There are a few forks near the beginning so just be mindful of following makings. Make sure on your way up to stop a few times to check out the view of the valley! There is a bench near the big waterfall, then a little ways further there's a bridge over the river. After that, you can hike up a ways through a meadow to the campground. Beyond this, you can go further to a higher viewpoint but I think just at the campground is as nice if you don't want to go as far.
It wasn't my very favorite hike, so not one I would repeat anytime soon, but it was enjoyable!
It took us 3.5 hours to go from the trailhead to the campground and back.

The trail is very well kept, absent a few areas where the grade is the steepest and it is washed out a bit. The grade on the accent is relatively consistent, and moderate, with very few strenuous areas, and absolutely nothing technical.  I did this trail in March, and there was no snow until you reached the alpine level, where in many places it was marshy and there were occasional patches of thick snow. No need to take tons of water on this hike, as there can be plenty of places to fill up along the way. Be mindful in the canyon during the summer, as it's relatively exposed the entire way, and will be very hot.

(A different hike???)
Grove Creek and Battle Creek Loop Trail is a 7.8 mile moderately trafficked loop trail located near Pleasant Grove, UT that features a waterfall and is rated as moderate. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible from March until October. Dogs are also able to use this trail.

Completed the loop and added Big Baldy. It took more than 5 hours. If you exclude Big Baldy, I think the loop would take about 3 hours. I would recommend Battle Creek to Grove Greek loop which would be nicer for your knees and ankles. Battle Creek is steeper than Grove Creek. I would rather hike up steeper uphill and run less steeper downhill.

This hike was a treat, and the area back between Grove and Battle Creek Canyons is worth the climb. The trails aren't very clearly marked, both in Grove Creek Canyon (take a left when available) and in the back area. If you're looking to do the complete loop, go through Kiwanis Park and continue to follow the trial all the way out to some gravel roads. They'll take you back to Grove Creek.

Good hike , fairly easy trail but not clearly marked up on top. Took about 6 hrs with lots of stops .

As you continue up the trail and get to mile 1, take the fork that leads into the canyon, North, or else you'll loop around to a lot of mountain biking trails (which i frequently rode and love) and my eventual exit.

I would park at Grove Creek and go up there. Then come down Battle Creek because the Battle Creek side is much steeper. The Grove Creek Hike is broken up with some pretty nice views that you can take in while you rest. There is a spring in the meadow at the top. You could overnight it there if you would like. If you ever have noticed the "G" on the mountain, this loop basically goes right around it. Battle Creek in Pleasant Grove is 200 North and Grove Creek is about 1100 north. So we just walked back to our truck.

This is a fun trail with a quick payoff. as soon as you leave the parking lot and head up the hill you will head up a steep incline. Once you get past the first big climb it leveled out and was mostly a mile incline from there.

Follow the wide trail for a half mile or so until a smaller single track trail branches off to the left. Follow that trail as far as you want with the meadow about two miles from the parking lot. Less then a mile up the hill you can look back and see some great views of the valley and Utah Lake.

This hikes pretty easy! We went up Battle creek and back down Grove creek. Make sure you park a car at Grove creek then drive the other car to Battle creek to start otherwise you will walk an extra mile and a half back to your car when you are done. When your at the top make sure you follow the trail to Grove creek, do not follow the dirt road because you will come to a dead end! Also, go early because when you hike down Grove creek you are against that rock mountain and the sun beats down on you! It was really hot (bring sunscreen) haha Overall it's really gorgeous with all the waterfalls and its fairly easy :)

This is a beautiful trip with great views. Grovecreek trail is a good climb but not a constant climb. There are switchbacks in it to make it reasonable. it is ablout 2.5 miles up then about a mile across the top of G mountain, and then about 2.3 miles down Battlecreek. Batlecreek is steep so you don't necessarily get the extra speed of downhill hiking. If you really want a workout hike it the otherway. Battlecreek to Grovecreek loop.
