Hero: Calf Canyon
small-sr Icon

A hidden gem in the San Rafael Swell, Calf Canyon sees little use, but don't let that deter you from what this trail has to offer. Lying just off Buckhorn Draw Road, this little canyon provides incredible isolated camping, stunning views, and access to world-class rock climbing. Although it is an easy trail, high clearance is needed due to the unmaintained wash crossing and a sandy and bumpy rock surface just before reaching the end. Dispersed camping is available at the trails end around the rock climbing areas. If you are looking for improved camping, Swinging Bridge Campground is just south on Buckhorn Wash and offers pit toilets, fire rings, and picnic tables in designated sites.
