Lower Calf Creek Falls GPX Track

I need to offset my substantial website costs somehow! You can download a hike/drive GPX to assist you here. Before sharing my GPX tracks with others, please remember my site is otherwise a free resource.

Lower Calf Creek Falls is a popular destination along the gorgeous UT-12. The hike is mostly flat and sandy and relatively short, leading to the photogenic falls. The well-maintained trail hugs the west side cliffs of Calf Creek's watercourse. The sandstone bluffs paralleling the creek progressively get more narrow and sheer, and the sporadic glimpses toward Calf Creek are always nice contrast to the desert. I reached Calf Creek Falls and enjoyed the flowing water and green mosses growing out of the cliff face before returning the way I came.

Hire me or show me some love!

Hire/refer me as a web developer or send me a few bucks if you find my site useful. I'm not sponsored, so all fees are out-of-pocket and my time preparing trip reports is unpaid. I really appreciate it!

The sandstone bluffs paralleling Calf Creek progressively get more narrow, but its most just a desert hike paralleling the creek for the majority of the hike.
