Pictures of a moderate 5.8 miles (10.8 km) round-trip hike in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, Utah.
"Named for its use as a natural pen for calves back in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, the creek remained relatively unknown as a tourist destination until the formation of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument (…). Walking between mineral-streaked cliffs of Navajo Sandstone, hikers pass beaver ponds and pre-historic rock art sites en route to the paradisiacal pools. (…) The Lower Calf Creek Falls are 130 feet (about 39.6 metres) high, with a deep swimming hole underneath them. The entire creek is surrounded by greenery, but particularly underneath the spray of the waterfall." (Utah.com)
