Calf Creek Falls

Location: Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument, Utah.

Equipment: Canon 1ds | 17-40 L | Hoya CP

One of the most beautiful settings I have ever seen. To get there, you take a 3 mile hike on soft sand, there are a few steep sections so the journey was a little difficult. Took my father, sister, and I 1.5 hrs to get to this hidden beauty.
For this shot, I was standing 3.5 ft. deep in a chilly pool.
This particular waterfall is 126 ft. high - This image displays just a small portion of the falls. I wanted to get close and capture the true detail.

At the falls, the creek emerges from a V-shaped channel at the end of upper Calf Creek Canyon and cascades over a near-vertical cliff face into a large pool several feet deep, enclosed on three sides by sheer Navajo sandstone walls.


I'm back from my American Southwest trip and I certainly had a fantastic time. I'm more than satisfied with some of the frames I captured. I've processed several others, so be on the watch for some new deviations.
