Leaving Escalante behind, we continued up Utah's Scenic Byway 12, stopping at an overlook for pictures before plunging down into the gorgeous gorges of Calf Creek Canyon.

As we drove down into the canyon, we were surrounded by gold, tan, red and even black walls, with their bright green footing of cottonweed trees and riparian grasses growing along the Escalante River and up in the Calf Creek recreation area. I was delighted when Dan announced we would be overnighting in the little first-come-first-served campgrounds on the valley floor.

We arrived early enough to hike up this beautiful canyon on the campground's trail to Lower Calf Creek Falls. Numbered marker posts along the trail indicated any must-see items nearby. We did see the trio of pictographs on the wall across from marker #8 painted hundreds of years ago by native peoples!
