We hiked to Lower Calf Creek Falls with BJ and Tara.
It was named for it's use as a natural pen for calfs back in the late 1800s and early 1900s
It ended up being about a 6 mile round trip
The most spectacular falls I've ever been to, with a 130ft drop.
Time to get in!
a refreshing cool down after the hike.
Time to hike out.
On our hike out we saw this pictograph that includes three figures, each with what appear to be antlers, horns, or perhaps antenna. Are they wearing headdresses? Are they humans with animal attributes? Or animals with human attributes? If you pass other hikers, you may hear a variety of comments. Some people guess that the figures are shamans or aliens, maybe because those are recognizable images in our culture. Some find the art mesmerizing; others not at all. And a few can’t see the pictograph because they were expecting something small and close-up, not something large and at a distance. People of the Fremont culture who inhabited this area at the same time as the Ancient Puebloans (or Anasazi), between about 800 AD and 1300 AD.
