💡 Tips from Dan
Your Road Warrior Guide
- •For the best experience at Calf Creek Falls and Lower Calf Creek Falls Recreation Area, visit in the spring (April to June) or fall (September to October) when temperatures are milder and the desert blooms. Wear sturdy hiking shoes and bring plenty of water, sunscreen, and a hat, as shade is limited along the trail. Insider tip: start your hike early in the morning to avoid crowds and capture the soft morning light for photos. Be cautious of flash floods, especially during monsoon season (July-August), and stay on designated trails to protect the delicate environment. Don’t forget your camera; the waterfall and surrounding canyon provide breathtaking photo ops, particularly from the viewpoint at the trail's end. Lastly, maintain a respectful silence to fully appreciate the serene atmosphere and wildlife.
