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

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.

Days Inn by Wyndham Torrey Capital Reef

10/10 Excellent

"The staff at the front desk Jerome I think was his name was very friendly and nice. He greeted me with a smile when I checked in. The pool area was nice. Just wish the outside smoking area was a bit farther away from the open garage door area. The smoke smell worked it's way into the pool area. "
