Calve Creek Falls!

This was the Senior Hiking
Club, when we arrived
at the falls.




Calve Creek Falls - 125'
drop from this point.




















5-14-09 - Before we left the Sinclair Gas Station in Escalante the fellow working there said we had to do the hike into Calve Creek Falls, so today is the day we drive about 12 miles up hwy 12 to the trail head parking lot to Calve Creek. So we get going early and arrive at the parking lot about 10 o'clock. The parking lot is full and we wondered where are the people have come from. Will let you know later and we proceed down the trail as this will be about a three mile hike in. The trail is very good and mostly on a sandy base so makes it very nice. The picture taking is great in this area. I just love UT and all their parks.

We make good time up the trail and before you know it we are walking on the trail next to Calve Creek with a beautiful grassy bank and clear cool water. This is one great hike and very enjoyable for a couple of Seniors. Before we know it the falls are coming up as we hear them. Then we see the falls through the trees and lots of people are around. We found out that a Senior hiking group was up here. So that is why all the cars. The falls were beautiful and well worth the hike in and back up. Well it will be soon time to get back to the motor home and head north up hwy 12. See the next posting on where our next stop will be.
