Where the Waterfalls Are

Cedar City sits in or near the Colorado Plateau and Canyon Country area of Utah. Southern Utah's falls are oases in a land of slickrock and sandstone cliffs. In Garfield County, Lower Calf Creek Falls plunges into a pool at the head of a sheer-walled canyon in the Grand Staircase-Escalante area, with Upper Calf Creek Falls reached by a separate steep route. Kane County's Cascade Falls lies on the forested Markagunt Plateau near Navajo Lake, where water emerges from limestone. San Juan County near Blanding, Grand County near Moab and Washington County hold a few more, often in narrow canyons. Many canyon-country falls are seasonal pour-offs that run only during snowmelt or after thunderstorms. Read the Utah waterfall guide.
