Hiking to Calf Creek Falls, in Escalente NP, was easier than other hikes as there was minimal elevation gain. We started early as it was going to get hot. At 7 am it was 45º and by noon it was 80º. We were dressed in layers. The hike was a 6 mile round trip along Calf Creek, so named because the early pioneers kept weaned calves in the natural pasture created by the box canyon above the creek. There are also pictographs visible along the way showing that this area was used by people for thousands of years. We stopped often to take photos on the way there, a few are below. When we reached the falls after an hour and 40 minutes we pleasantly surprised to see a gorgeous falls falling 126' to an icy pond.
Below are some photos of those fabulous rocks, some look very much like animals, others I named myself
