Utah: Calf Creek - July 6

We drove the breathtaking Rt 12 to Calf Creek Falls today. You can't see the road itself in this photo, but you can see about where it is. This photo was taken from the Calf Creek Recreation area. There is a campground here, but only for tenters and very small trailers. It is a steep drop with a sharp curve from Rt. 12 into the Calf Creek Rec area.

Utah: Calf Creek - July 6

I'm still too gimpy to do a six mile hike so had to sit and wait in this ugly place. :-) I read, slept, played iPod games, and took a few photos. The only way to the falls is a 3 mile hike in and a 3 mile hike back out not including about a half mile through the parking lot each way. It took them 3.5 hours, including 20 minutes to cool off at the falls. Galen and I did this hike in 2006 on a hot day and clearly remember how good the mist off the falls felt. The falls are 126' high.
