LOWER CALF CREEK FALLS | The Most Iconic Hike in Escalante, Utah

Today we are exploring Escalante, Utah and heading to a hike called Lower Calf Creek Falls. This is a classic and iconic hike with a beautiful oasis and waterfall in the middle of the desert. Good morning. We are up. The sun is out, which is awesome because the previous two days we've gotten up in the dark and had early mornings. Today we're doing Lower Calf Creek Falls, probably one of the most famous hikes here in Escalante. So we figured it's going to be busy no matter what we do. So I can't believe it's taken us all these years to finally do this hike because I think it's one of the most classic hikes here. Should be a great day out though. So just filled out the day use permit. There are also campsites here, which is cool, but if you come for the day, it is $5. It did look like they had a card machine, which is awesome. I guess it's becoming more common, which is great, but we did have cash. So we just filled out the envelope, put the tag on the dash, and we're about to head out. Smooth sailing. The drive-in was beautiful. I'm actually really happy that we didn't do that in the dark. So it was such an awesome drive, like 20 minutes, but beautiful. And now we're just making our way down the trail. It's actually parallel to the road, which is kind of funny, but very beautiful surrounding canyon walls and all that. And moving quick. That's it now. For the girl, I'm going to get back to it. We passed some people, so I'm in a hurry, so they don't pass. So as you guys can see, this trail is insane. To be honest, it feels like we're kind of in Zion. I mean, I'm kind of blocked by trees right now, but canyon views in every single direction. Very, very cool hike. So I think we're like less than a quarter mile from the waterfall. Hopefully, the water's running because it's definitely going to be a drought year. We're going to show you the waterfall and all that, but Bri and I are introverts and don't like vlogging when there's a bunch of people around. Clearly a busy trail, but really, really awesome so far. That was very funny at the waterfall. We met this group from Lancaster and San Diego, and one of them had like two ponies, and he asked if he could run me around, and she loved it, but then started barking and got a little crazy, but it was a very funny scene. All right, so we are about, I don't know, halfway back to the car. It is hot. We started at like 830 or something. It was great on the way there, but right now, it's definitely toasty. It's on the cusp of being too hot for her, but we just needed a late morning, but once you're at the falls, there's plenty of room, and you don't need to worry about it being too crowded because there's like a massive shoreline and plenty of space, so that's nice, and crowds really haven't been too much of an issue, even though it's the middle of the day. It got hot quick. We ended up actually, when we were at the waterfall, talking to a bunch of people. A bunch of people wanted to see Mia, so we were there longer than we thought. It got hot. Ran into two people who have followed the channel since we had like 10,000 subscribers, which was super cool, but yeah, once we got back to the car, we just wanted to blast the AC, get Mia back to the hotel because it got hot. Actually, a lot of dogs... Shout out to Brian. Shout out to... What'd you say? I said shout out to Brian and Becky if you're seeing this. No, there's a lot of dogs heading out when we were getting back, which seems crazy, but yeah, we just wanted to get back. Mia gets hot when it's like above 80 degrees hiking. So that's going to wrap it up for this video, but make sure to check out some of the other Escalante ones and just videos all over Utah. We'll see you later.
