This canyon is very beautiful. It is not super narrow, but the extremely tall canyon walls that are often pocked with holes are very interesting. The colors on the canyon walls are beautiful. There is an arch along the trail. This trail has some amazing very scenic spots. We drove our truck until the road got too tuff, and then ATV'd until there was a sign that said no more vehicles past this spot. We parked and ended up being at the canyon entrance. It cut off a good mile off the hike. We hiked in as far as we could but then wimped out when the canyon got a little narrower and was filled with some water. It was just too cold a day for us to deal with wet. Loved it. Great adventure, beautiful hike.

Someone said on the way up this is a nice EASY HARD hike. Some would say, that makes no sense, but it made sense to me. All trails only labels things as Easy, Medium, and Hard. Sometimes you want something challenging, but not dangerous. That is what this is. It is a nice challenging hike, for it has good attitude climb, it has a length that is longer but not too long, it has a path that has some rocks to keep it interesting, but not too many rocks that are going to make it dangerous coming down. It is not the top prettiest lake in Utah, but still very nice and beautiful. #Red_pine_lake

This hike is a little tricky to find for it is not well marked on the road. I was lucky and went into Boulder and put it into my Google maps, and even then it said you have arrived and I looked around to see no signs or anything, just a little side road that was easy to miss. You have to take that side road for a little ways and then you see signs for the Upper Calf Creek Falls. I do know it is about 10 miles outside Boulder close by the Hells Backbone road. The hike heads down a steep huge Boulder where the trail is only marked by Carins. The trail varies from being a very distinctive path, to having to pay very close attention to the Carins to stay on the path. Pay super close attention to the Carins for it is so easy to get off the path and in scary situations, and if you loose Carins turn around quickly until you find those Carins. The waterfall here is beautiful. I read that the Upper Calf Creek is preferable over the Lower for there is. It the issue of so much Poison Ivy, and less crowds with just as pretty of a waterfall. The hike is only about a mile in and a mile back, unless you loose those Carins and then it can add quite a bit of distance on your hike. Stay close together as a group. I thought I was good at keeping my eye out for those Carins but many get lost easily so be careful. I got myself in a scary situation after loosing the trail, and would highly advise others to be cautious and vigilant about making sure they don't loose site of those Carins.
