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, under the Clinton administration. Walking between mineral-streaked cliffs of Navajo Sandstone, hikers pass beaver ponds and pre-historic rock art sites en route to the paradisiacal pools.

Trail Head: 37.794049, -111.414733
Trail Type: Hiking
Length: 5.84 roundtrip
Difficulty: Moderate

The trailhead is located at the Calf Creek Campground on Highway 12, 11 miles south of the town of Boulder, and 15 miles east of the town of Escalante. The highway follows the route of the creek for most of the distance, atop the bluff to the east of the canyon.

"This was our first time glamping and our whole family loved it! We stayed two nights and enjoyed the fire pit and stargazing both nights. The facilities were so clean and just as described. The location was perfect for Capitol Reef National park. We had 5 people and so our 5th person slept on a cot, which they said was very comfortable as well. The bathrooms and amenities were so nice and we would definitely look to stay here again in the future. "

"Our room 11 was very clean (wood floor, furniture including the drawers, sink, toilet, shower drained properly)). We stayed 2 nights with 4 bath towels and plenty other towels. No need for second day cleaning, but could had left a note for cleaning if needed. Parking was great too. We received the email with our room number and door code. No need for front desk checkin. "
