Lower Calf Creek Falls - Scenic Byway 12 - Utah - LeAw in the USA //Ep.39
We are living the American dream driving the Historic Route 66 from Chicago to Santa Monica but we are doing some detours to visit some places we like.
In this 39th episode, we hit the road again. Lucky LeAw, our old vintage 1990 Ford F-250 4x4 truck camper, is fixed.
We visit Calf Creek Falls and drive all Scenic Byway 12 Route. Enjoy the ride with us! ;)
Calf Creek Falls is a perennial waterfall in the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in Utah that totals 214 feet (65 m). The lower tier is a 126-foot (38 m) cascade and is very popular, because it can be reached by an easy hike on a 5½ mile roundtrip trail. The upper tier is a 88-foot (27 m) plunge and is much less known, as it requires a 1-mile (1.6 km) scramble past the lower falls.
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.
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.
Calf Creek Campground: Located at the campground in the Calf Creek Recreational Area, there is a parking fee for the parking lot, and a camping fee in order to stay overnight. The trail sets off to the north, away from the campground. Though mostly level, the trail frequently crosses vast sandy tracts that can make it difficult for some to navigate. About a mile and a half up the canyon, on the east wall quite high up rest two Fremont granaries and a group of pictograph panels, dated to approximately AD 1200.
State Route 12 or Scenic Byway 12 (SR-12), also known as Highway 12 — A Journey Through Time Scenic Byway, is a state highway designated an All-American Road located in Garfield County and Wayne County, Utah, United States.
Proceeding west to east for 122 miles (nearly 200 km), the highway starts south of Panguitch at an intersection with US-89, crosses part of Dixie National Forest and Bryce Canyon National Park, continues through the small towns of Tropic, Cannonville, and Henrieville. It crosses various parts of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument (GS-ENM), continues northeast through Escalante and over the Escalante River, then north through more of GS-ENM, Boulder, the Aquarius Plateau, Grover, ending in Torrey at an intersection with SR-24, five miles (8 km) west of Capitol Reef National Park. The 30-mile (48 km) long portion of the highway that ascends and descends Boulder Mountain on the Aquarius Plateau is known as Boulder Mountain Highway.

Red Canyon Campground, Dixie National Forest, Utah Campsite Photos
The Dixie National Forest is Utah's largest Forest and is comprised of 1,883,896 acres. It is divided up into four geographic areas and is located in the southwest portion of Utah. Red Canyon is a little known gem located 4 miles east of Highway 89 and 9 miles west of Bryce Canyon. Red Canyon is a forested area with sixty-million year old dark red rock castles protruding up from crimson sand. Schedule some time to explore Red Canyon. This area is regulated by the Forest Service and thus allows ATV's, horses and bicycles on the trails. There is no entrance fee since this is a part of Dixie National Forest rather than the National Park System

Things To Do Near Bryce Canyon National Park
Hiking poles:
Hey you guys! Thanks for joining me on another journey. We are here outside of Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah. We are exploring the things to do outside of the national park. We came to the ghost town of Widstoe and found the cemetery along with a few very cool old structures, including a church that served also served as a schoolhouse. It was incredible to walk in & around these pieces of history. Widstoe Ghost Town is located in John’s Valley, about 16 miles northeast of Bryce Canyon National Park near the East Fork of the Sevier River. The town was settled in the early 1900s by Jedediah Adair, and his success as a ‘dry’ farmer drew other settlers to the area over the next few years. Originally known as Adairville, the town was renamed several times in honor of prominent locals including LDS Church leaders John Houston and John R. Winder, and University of Utah president John A. Widtsoe. In 1912, the town (then known as Winder) began to thrive. The prospering community had a post office, sawmills, a confectionery plant, two hotels, four stores, and a church meetinghouse that also served as a school. Running water was piped into town from a local spring in 1915. By 1917, the town was renamed once again, this time in recognition of John A. Widtsoe’s agricultural expertise. Widtsoe continued to prosper with the relocation of the US Forest Service’s district office, and by 1919 the community had a population estimate of 1,100 residents. Utah has a diverse and rich history, most of which has been forgotten by most people. Some of these creepy abandoned towns are where you will want to start your next adventure.
We also went to Kodachrome State Park. Even though its magnificent scenery is similar to Bryce Canyon's, it is amazing to see the differences. Kodachrome Basin is a spectacle of massive sandstone chimneys, ever-changing from gray and white to shades of red with the day's mood. Numerous rocks and coves offer solitude, quiet and unique desert beauty. Kodachrome is nine miles south of State Route 12 near Cannonville. The park features a wide variety of colorful sandstone formations and epic views of Bryce Canyon and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. Kodachrome Basin State Park, with its red tinged rock formations and incredible blue skies, just begs to be photographed. The National Geographic Society came up with the name, and everyone agreed with it. Towering monolithic spires or chimneys jut up from the valley floor or protrude from the sandstone rocks that surround the campground and inspire an infinite array of subjects limited only by one’s imagination. In addition to hiking, horseback riding (guided horseback rides are available at the park with Red Canyon Trail Rides) and mountain biking in the park, visitors should plan to visit nearby Grosvenor Arch. This intricate double arch, located just 10 miles southeast of the park, is one of the most impressive in the state. We hiked to Shakespeare Arch, and even got to stand right below it, gazing up at its stunning beauty. It is definitely one of my most favorite arches!
We discovered another couple of ghost towns on the way back to Bryce Canyon. We aren't sure which ones they were exactly, but we believe one was Georgetown and another was Losee. It was so awesome to see old relics scattered about the property, which included a kind of corral used for what we guessed to be sheep-herding. It's crazy to think of how the inhabitants of these towns survived in such stark conditions. Perhaps the grandeur of the view kept them there for as long as they could sustain life there.
We ended the day at Casto Canyon. Again, the scenery was similar to Bryce Canyon National Park but it was wonderfully different as well. We ended up hiking along a dry riverbed, and along the way, we discovered a very unique type of crystal or geode. It felt like finding a treasure! Once we connected back up with the ATV trail, we realized how exhausted and sore we were, but we had thoroughly enjoyed an absolutely amazing day adventuring outside of Bryce Canyon.
