Lower Calf Creek Falls- Escalante Utah

This hike was part of our trip to Utah with a group of 20 people. We drove into the town of Escalante and headed to the trailhead for Calf Creek Recreation area.


Lots of red dirt at the start of the hike.

The landscape rocks were beautiful.

As we continued on the hike the rocks changed. We passed mineral streaked cliffs of Navajo sandstone.




Some of the trail walked along a ridge.

We hiked along a creek on the right side. Some of the trees seen were pinyon pine trees and Utah Juniper trees. 


The falls finally come into view. The lower creek falls are 130 feet high. Some people in our group waded into the pool below.

The hike to Calf Creek Falls, Lower is 5.84 miles roundtrip. This was a moderate hike with gorgeous views of rock and we saw some petroglyphs at one of the markers. There are some signs along the way that point out interesting sites. The falls was a great destination to the hike.
