| no partners | | Couple of side quests on the way to Escalante. Lower Hackberry was on my radar from the last time I passed through, so we decided to check it out. Light flow in the creek made it enjoyable. The bartender in Page let us know on the way home that we should've done this barefoot. Walked about 2.5 miles in, decided the canyon wasn't going to get any more spectacular for awhile, and turned around. Really cool canyon, would like to check the rest out some time.
Got into Escalante, had a few hours of daylight left, so we decided to head up to Upper Calf Creek Falls. Trail isn't as well marked as its lower neighbor, quite steep for about a half mile, but didn't see anybody out there, which is a nice change of pace from Lower Calf Creek Falls. More views, too, since it starts from the canyon rim. The falls aren't quite as picturesque as the lower ones, but there's still a nice little lagoon, some cool alcoves, and you can access both the top and bottom of the falls. It's a worthy visit if you've already seen the lower falls. |
