Named for its use as a natural pen for calves back in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, the creek remained relatively unknown as a tourist destination until the formation of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, under the Clinton administration. Walking between mineral-streaked cliffs of Navajo Sandstone, hikers pass beaver ponds and pre-historic rock art sites en route to the paradisiacal pools.

"5 stars!!!! This is tiny house living as a pioneer cabin should be!! Very cute, well stocked, great set up for a little place. Plenty of storage for suitcases and big bathroom! This is a new listing so I provided some suggestions that could enhance it even more, but we loved it and would stay here again when we're in the area in the future."

"Nice and quiet stay in Boulder, UT. Only 15-20 minutes from Lower Calf Creek Falls in Grand Staircase - Escalante Monument. Large studio apartment with kitchenette, comfy bed and privacy. The bathroom was a little tight and not as updated as the rest of the apartment, but overall we had a very nice stay. "
