Strap on your hiking shoes and pack your swimmers, this is one of the best hikes in Utah and 100% worth the effort. It’s on our list of places to see in Utah that no one tells you about.
The Lower Calf Creek Falls trail is not your typical Utah hike. You’ll follow the trail through the valley, which is enclosed by towering cliffs of red, pink, orange and yellow – that is oh so typical of Utah, the most colorful place in the world.
The trail turns from hardened sand to soft beach sand as you walk, adding an extra layer of challenge to the walk. It’s not that bad, you probably won’t notice it on the way there, but you will on the way back once those legs start to tire at about mile 4.
There is a 13-site campground here and a day use picnic area. The campsite looks gorgeous an I’d love to stay here under the shade of the trees nestled along side Calf Creek. Its’ a first come first served basis so good luck!
