COORDINATES 37.7957, -111.4172 → Open in Maps One of the monument's crown jewels, Lower Calf Creek Falls drops 126 feet into a natural pool surrounded by lush hanging gardens, cottonwoods, and towering canyon walls. The trail follows Calf Creek through a canyon of layered red and white sandstone, passing ancient Fremont granaries and Native American rock art panels. The destination is unmistakably worth every step of the sandy, sun-exposed approach. 15. Trail data: https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query;=Lower+Calf+Creek+Falls+Trailhead+Utah
