With a 150-foot plunge into an inviting pool, Calf Creek Falls lies hidden in a deep canyon below the southern edge of Boulder Mountain near the town of Boulder, Utah in Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument. Fed by the abundant waters of the 10,000-foot Aquarius Plateau, this waterfall must have been even more spectacular 12,000 years ago as the Pleistocene icecap atop Boulder Mountain melted at the end of the last glacial advance. Much of the spectacular-eroded canyon country we see today on the Colorado Plateau is the result of vast amounts of water spilling from high-country glaciers during the multiple glacial advances of the last 2 million years. Calf Creek Falls can be reached via a 2.5-mile hike from Calf Creek Campground near the Escalante River. This panoramic photograph was captured with a 6x17 panorama format camera.
