Beautiful secluded campground just outside of a beautiful canyon.

Deer Creek campground is off of the Burr Scenic drive and right outside of the lower part of Capitol Reef National Park. This campground is perfect if you are driving from Bryce Canyon to Capitol Reef. There are a total of 7 tent sites in the campground. There are no spots for RVs and no turn around areas for anything over 20ft long. The cost of the campground is 10 dollars per night and has a small pit toilet that is well taken care of. There are plenty of trees around the river that provide lots of shade all day.

This is a nice campground along the Burr Trail in GSENM. The campground is small but has nice trees for shade and is situated along a creek.

Upper Calf Creek Falls

Finding the trailhead for the Upper Calf Creek Falls can be a little difficult. Head east out of Escalante and follow highway 12 for about 20.6 miles. There will be a dirt turnout on the left hand side that leads to a dirt parking lot and a trail sign with registration for the Upper Calf Creek Falls hike. The sign can be hidden behind some trees so be on the lookout. We missed the turnout the f...

Drive the Burr Trail Scenic Backway

The Burr Trail is a 66 miles mostly-paved road connecting Boulder, Utah / Highway 12 with the Notom-Bullfrog road that passes through some of the most scenic (and largely untouched) painted-rock backcountry in three of our national parks/monuments including Grand Staircase-Escalante, Capitol Reef, and Glen Canyon with endless epic hikes and backpacking trips like Hiking the Upper Muley Twist, t...

Lower Calf Creek Falls

The trailhead for lower calf creek falls begins at the Calf Creek Campground. There is a small fee to park in the campground and a larger fee if you plan on camping in the campground. There is potable water and outhouses at the trailhead but parking can be difficult to find during the spring and fall. Near the trailhead there is a pamphlet that you can grab that will tell you about the plants ...

Backpack Death Hollow in Grand Staircase-Escalante

The most popular route into Death Hollow is from the Boulder airstrip near the town of Boulder, Utah. The trailhead for the Boulder Mail Trail begins, or ends here depending on which way you are hiking. Leave a car at the Highway 12 bridge over the Escalante River for the thru hike, or get lucky and try to hitchike back to your car at the trailhead which I've done before as its a very short a...

Escalante Natural Bridge

This is a 3.2 mile hike in the Escalante River Canyon near Escalante, Utah. This hike features a number of brief river crossings, so be prepared to get wet! The hike traverses a number of small boulder fields and dense riverside vegetation before concluding at the Escalante Natural Bridge. This hike typically takes about 2 hours. The hike begins about 13 miles east of Escalante just north of t...

Hike to the Cosmic Ashtray

...As a frequent traveler, what's always motivated my travels were locations that have either been on my bucket list, or are places that are photogenic and a little off the beaten path. During my recent 3 week road trip through Northern Arizona and Southern Utah, I had the opportunity to visit a spot that had been on my bucket list for quite sometime. It's so far off the beaten path that you ne...
