Lower Calf Creek Falls

As promised here is a post about our hike at Lower Calf Creek Falls. We decided to do this hike on a whim the same day we hiked the Wave. These two hikes are very different. The Wave is red rock, very dry and has no plant life. Lower Calf Creek had trees and water, and we loved it!


Lower Calf Creek is about a 5 mile round trip hike, we had heard that there was a little waterfall at the end so we were excited to dip our toes and cool off a little! We felt like we had been going for awhile with no waterfall in sight when all the sudden we entered into a little grove and right there in front of us was our waterfall, but it was not a the little waterfall we had expected! It was HUGE and so beautiful, the water was freezing but we couldn't help but take a dip.


After the heat of the red rock from earlier we were loving the water and the shade, we stayed and played for awhile until we got to cold, hungry and tired to swim any longer.


I love these peeps and their sense of adventure!



After our swim we headed back to the cars.



It was so amazing to see two such different places in one day so close together. Utah is amazing for stuff like this cause we've got it all!
