Hiking Lower Calf Creek Falls- Sept. 2012

Kellen, Ellie, and I decided to take a little camping and hiking trip.  We stayed overnight at Fishlake in Randy's trailer, and then went to Lower calf Creek for a rather ambitious hike!  It was longer than we anticipated and so hot, but quite an amazing view at the end.  We took El on our little journey and ended up carrying half the way back... the little sissy pants.  I can't blame her exactly, (it was REALLY hot) but if we weren't carrying her we would have to bribe her with beef jerky.  Just a small example of how easily manipulated we are by cute things! 

Ellie loved to watch out the window as we drove across Utah

And was very curious once we got to the Falls...

But refused to go anywhere near the water... see what I mean about high maintenance?

Seriously! How stubborn can one tiny thing be?

Ellie LOVED Kellen. Here he is with his little best friend.

She was terrified when he walked in the water with her

She eased up a little when he came out of the water again

Ellie and I a safe distance from the falls

Kel and I took turns going all the way in.  It was a very cool secluded waterfall.

It was a interesting hike with a lot of pretty red rock and cliffs.
