Waterfalls of Utah
Utah has a variety of scenery in its vast and rugged expanse of desert wilderness. You'll find slot canyons, natural arches, desert oases, and even canyons with vertical sandstone cliffs. Amidst this scenery are waterfalls that are tall and graceful as well hidden and mysterious. Like the Grand Canyon in Northern Arizona, many of the waterfalls found in this unforgiving landscape result from springs while others are of the ephemeral variety. Still, there are waterfalls that pose as not only scenic assets but obstacles during slot canyon adventures. Further north, there are mountain ranges that supply its waterfalls with melting snow. In fact, snow is abundant enough in these areas that they hosted the Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City in 2002. Perhaps the most dramatic of the waterfalls in the deserts and canyons of the southern part of the state is Lower Calf Creek Falls. Ever since I first saw the alluring beauty of Utah in 2001, I have made repeated trips since and will continue to do so.
