The trailhead is located at the Calf Creek Campground, about 11 miles from Boulder. The lower falls, the most famous, are 130 feet high and have a deep, cool swimming hole underneath. The creek is surrounded by lush greenery. The Calf Creek Falls Trail starts at the campground and is mostly level, but often crosses large sandy patches that can be difficult to walk on. After a mile and a half up the trail, you can see ancient pictograph panels on the canyon wall, dated to about AD 1200.
