About the Name

Cardiff Fork is also known as Mill D South Fork and the street signs mention Jordan Pines. In the summer most people know this as the entrance to Donut Falls and in the winter it's commonly known as the sledding area. The flat area near the entrance to Cardiff Fork is named Reynolds Flat. Yes, this is the place (as we say in Utah) for all of these.
