Spring Break in Escalante, UT

Flat Jenny went with Meggen and her family on their spring break vacation to the Escalante, UT area. It was a great break from the daily grind of life in UT County and the weather was definitely a lot warmer! ;o)

Flat Jenny enjoyed climbing this tree near the campsite to get a better view of the surrounding area. This isn't the first tree Flat Jenny has climbed, so she is somewhat of an expert! She likes the perspective being in a tree can give her.

Flat Jenny hiked to Lower Calf Creek Falls and it was spectacular! She loved the hike and all the interesting rocks, wildlife, and desert scenery along the way. Her favorite part was definitely the falls, though. It was nice and cool---a great place to sit on a fallen tree and contemplate the beauties of life while having a drink and eating a yummy snack.

Flat Jenny thought all the cactus plants along the way were interesting, even though they were taller than her and she was happy to stay far enough away from their spines to stay safe. She's had enough of being pricked with needles at the doctor---she doesn't need to add that to her vacation routine too!

Flat Jenny also was grateful for the rock cairns along the trail that marked the path when she was hiking over large areas of sandstone. It always such a blessing when those who have gone before are able and willing to blaze a clear path for us to follow.

At the end of the hike, Flat Jenny thought it would be good to have a picture in front of the sign to the trail head so she will never forget this beautiful day in the Utah sun!

Here is a short video that Flat Jenny took at Calf Creek Falls. The falls are much larger and more spectacular than any picture or little video clip can capture. What a beautiful day!
