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.

Rock Art Escalante Utah

Petroglyphs (rock engravings) are scattered through-out Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument.

 The Ancient People were very industrious with the carving below. Any one can interpret the story, but we'll never know what the artist (or artists) wanted to convey. This panel can be found in the mouth of Neon Canyon, Escalante, Utah.

This pictrogragh (rock art that is drawn or painted on rock face), can be 

found off Highway 12, NE of the Bridge where Calf Creek and Escalante River converge.

Got to hand it to the Ancient People: they were here before us.
