Glass Recycled in Escalante, Utah

We (visitors too) can now recycle and reuse our discarded glass right here in Escalante Utah.  Watch how your wine and beer bottles are being used for landscaping, mulch, road base and art work.  This grassroots group is saving Escalante landfills from filling up with bulky rejected glass trash. 

Calf Creek Frozen Falls Escalante Ut

Hiking Lower Calf Creek in the wintertime is a joyous adventure not had by many. The trail to lower Calf Creek falls is at times snow-covered or hard-packed sand, making for easy foot travel. Calf Creek is flowing sweetly between banks of Willow or leaf-less Cottonwood trees. After hiking (or running) 3 miles, we were rewarded with icicles and tumbling ice from tiers of cascading water. The Falls gush water through blockades of frozen dripping ice. Come see for yourself.
