Calf Creek Canyon - a photo on Flickriver

Calf Creek Canyon

            The Grand Staircase of the Escalante National Monument has many stunning features and lots of fine hiking. This shot was taken from an overlook on state highway 12, looking west late in the day. Calf Creek has lower and upper falls, best approached from different trailheads, both worth visiting. Desert varnished is quite striking in several places.

Cottonwoods require much water, so they are commonly seen along creeks and rivers. They provide much appreciated shade in summer. The benches above the canyon support a piñon – juniper woodland.

I was thinning my old photos when I came across this one, taken about 9 years ago -- it brought back such pleasant memories that I had to post it.
