- In this video I travel to the town of Escalante, Utah where I camp on BLM land and hike the very beautiful and scenic Lower Calf Creek Falls trail. This is a trail I've wanted to hike for some time. The scenery was gorgeous along the entire route to the jaw dropping beautiful 126 ft waterfall.

"Sunday coffee with Catherine" has become my new Sunday tradition. No pressure! lol
Ansel Adams photographic skills made America want the National Park System; your photographic skills make America want to keep it.
My Dad's family grew up in Escalante. When I was little we made the trip to the falls a few times. In my little kid head I thought the waterfall belonged to our family
Bright and early is the very best way to hit the trails. Having typically crowded and busy trails nearly all to yourself is the win of all wins.
That's why I love waterfalls. They're majestic in all ways!
Ah Cat...you've done it again!! You have a real talent for visual excellence combined with music that soothes the soul...it's just a great way to kickstart my week...God bless...
The indescribable beauty of that hike to the spectacular waterfall can't be beat nothing can top nature for natural beauty..
I like the way you let the scenery tell most of your story.
What a lovely waterfall I could sit there all day looking and listening to it
The shot of the waterfall is breathtaking!
The magnetism of waterfalls to the human psyche is amazing! Superb camera work Catherine. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
You sure know how to find some beautiful places. Thanks for taking us along with you
Thank you Catherine. When i feel stressed i just click on your most recent video and relax. Love the music, water trickling. Love the way you move the camera slowly. You have an awesome eye.
My wife and I seem to have our Sunday morning coffee and watch your vids. Much appreciated 🙏 .... we are so inspired by watching your vids. Thank you. Bob from Minnesota
Naps are great. Waterfall were fantastic. No people and no noise. Enjoy
Beautiful video, something definitely sets you apart from other people who post hikes on here. Your videos make you feel like your seeing it through your own eyes. Safe travels.
Thank you 🙏!
The photography @ 8:19 is incredible. Thanks for bringing all the beauty into our lives.
the earth and the sky love you back. Thanks Catherine.
Thank you Catherine for sharing beutiful sites that we will never get to see as we are 70's and on the east coast.
I absolutely adore the great State of Utah!
Tytytytytytytytyty 🙏
Blessings eternally dear one.
Namaste'
Always Beautiful at the Grand Staircase!
at 6:00 ... an Amazing Desert Holly!
💕 Catherine
So many scenes would stand on their own as a highlight of many other videos. They are breathtaking. Thank you.
I think I remember a place in Utah where the rocks were white and the lakes very clear blue. Maybe it was the salt lakes I don't really know. Love your videos. Always brighten up my day.
I love your peaceful videos. Specially, the waterfalls. My husband and I dreamed about going to places like that we moved to Arkansas from California and we were going to start our journey here to visit and other places in UA. But unfortunately, he passed away from Covid in 2021 and I feel strongly to do this journey even though he’s not with us. I would like to do this to honor him. Once again, I love your videos.
Thanks for getting up early and capturing the morning lighting. You enabled me to re-live in my mind my experience there in the early morning fall of 2018.
As always, I appreciate your beautiful videos. That waterfall was gorgeous. Thank you. Blessings
Best footage of living ever . Live Love N Laugh . .... thanks you are the best inspiration.....
Hiking early mornings is a must. Best time of day. My dogs luv it then. 🐕🐕🚴♂️
I love the Pastels of the Escalante in the morning. You are in the Marrow of the World!
Please explore until there's nothing left to explore!
Thanks for bringing wonderland into my home this morning, the falls were awsome, I love following your videos you're the best thank you
Cat, I know when I watch your video I better not do it on an empty stomach, you make me hungry every time.
Catherine... what a great life is yours indeed! The wild places call and thus you must go! Keep on going! Never stop!
After a rough Sunday, it was so nice to relax with your video thanks for turning my day around for the better
... I have always enjoyed moving water and waterfalls .. these are an amazing few that just fill the inner spirit ...Thank You so much for sharing your day ....
..... Stay Safe and God Bless .....
You hold a near and dear place in my heart ❤. LOL 😆
An absolutely magical area of Utah.
We were there in 2019 and miss it dearly.
Thank you for taking us back again.❤️
GSE NP is a very beautiful place. Thank you for this wonderful video. Another Sunday treat!😎💛💙💛💙💛💙
I love love love Calf creek falls. It is getting busy as of late.
Just beautiful!!! The scenery is breath taking and the music blends wonderfully!
What a wanderful place!!! Better with you, Catherine. Thanks a lot to show it to us!!! Blessings and Greetings from Chile!!!
Yeah. I could live here. *Love* the videography of this landscape. Hugs, keep on trucking, stay free, and a pox on they that impose their fear of dying on you because they're afraid to live ("stay safe" - baaah!).
Thank you.
"Stay safe" is pretty generic..like "safe travels". Much better than "mask up!" or "get away from me!" Might as well joke about it because it's impossible to take it seriously. ;)
natural colour and stunning backdrops you have captured it perfect
One of my favorite areas to explore. Just driving thru is jaw dropping at times. Like you, Escalante always calls me back to visit. New revelations each time you return.
What an amazing hike! It always surprises me that more people haven't learned the "secret" of getting up early to have solitude in otherwise popular places. Thanks for sharing your amazing adventure Catherine!
Magnificent scenery. Perfect time of the year to visit southern UT, with the spring runoff.
hey Doc. Here's your huckleberry!
Absolutely astounding...to see it on video. I know in person it is breathtaking! Thank you for sharing such beauty.
I always look forward to watching your videos on Sunday afternoon. Lower Calf Creek Falls is on my list of places to visit. You've done an excellent job of capturing the beauty and serenity of the waterfall. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
Beautiful trail - love the video - your music really adds, does not distract. Another place to add to the ‘want to paint’ list - thank you Catherine!
Beauty looks back with a smile, well done.
A wonderful Sunday morning wake-up! I can only imagine what those waterfalls must look like frozen in the dead of winter. This was another totally awesome video. I especially liked seeing that deer in her natural element. May Almighty God continue to Bless, Guard, Guide, and Protect you!
She had jumped right across the trail in front of me just before. Startled me! 😂😂 Thank you John.
@@CatherineGregoryAdventures Among the "wilderness lessons" that my grandfather taught me from childhood into my late teens was to make noise so as to not surprise creatures with no sense of humor. Like snakes, skunks (Especially Rattlers and Water Moccasins) , etc. Funny thing is, I've yet to see a snake or skunk on what is now my farm. However, in Northern Virginia, I've seen both! Only downside is that you miss seeing the animals "being natural", as he used to put it.
I love all the color around the waterfall
Spent a year in southern Utah. Cant wait to get back!!!
Loving the Utah wilderness that you are sharing as well as the great photography. Thanks!
What can I say... you absolutely captured the true heart and soul of this amazing area.
Did that same hike several years back. The highway 12 drive between Escalante & Boulder is stunning. They used to film a lot of car commercials in that section.
The waterfall is so colorful, beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Another beautiful video Catherine. Thanks. Stay safe lil lady. 🙏
Stayed in Panguitch for a week during our visit to Utah. Road that same road to the staircase. Great memories
Thanks for taking us along. The waterfalls were 👌awesome!
One of my favorite areas. Hopefully I will spend some time there in the future. Thanks for having us along.
Ahhhh....so beautiful CG! Your cinematography skills are really top notch and pair well with the equipment you have. Excellent visual quality!

I love your respect and obvious love of nature and the places you visit. Your filming and information is such a joy to watch. I admire your adventurous spirit.

Very relaxing! Thanks for all you do!
Thank you for inviting us along for this video. Outstanding.
P.S. Way to go ..., entire waterfall to yourself and that deep blue sky at the top of the falls was gorgeous indeed.

Spring has sprung and Catherine is taking us on another adventure. Thanks for sharing as always! Love your vids.
Wow. This might be my favorite one yet...
Beautiful! I can’t wait to get out there again! ‘Looking for some peace and quiet...hope to see the sun again!’ ☀️
As a vlogger you are lucky to visit these beautiful places and as a subscriber I can only dream these beautiful places. But thanks I can see it through your vlog.
That beautiful waterfall looks tempting to go for a swim in the pool there complete with a sandy beach. 👍👍🌟🌟🌟🌟👍👍
I would have if it were warmer. It is allowed. :)
Breath taking falls. Beautiful video. Thank you. !
Great hike to an epic waterfall. Now I need to take a nap...zzzz.
I love the juxtaposition of the dry arid landscape and the gushing waterfall. 😍 You captured this beautifully Catherine, as ever.
Good stuff Catherine ! 😁🖒 Beautiful !! Just like you !! 😁😍😘
Another great production. The waterfall is spectacular ‼️👍👏
Another beautiful day hike to see an amazing majestic waterfall. I can see why you went early. Safe travels.
Absolutely gorgeous! I'll bet those falls would be a great dipping place in Summertime. Stay safe!
Fabulous!
Thank you for taking us along......enjoyed
Gorgeous!!! I ❤️ waterfalls
Beautiful catches of the light and shadow. Another enjoyable video...
Spectacular hike, richly colorful and definitely a rewarding waterfall ending. Your videos are ever so awe-inspiring, captivating, wonderful photography and set to such beautifully composed music. 🎶
Thank you so much!
Great job Catherine beautiful shots thank you for taking us there excellent
Thank you Catherine!
All I can say is WOW !!! How beautiful was that water fall along with all the other Scenery and nature. As always stay safe and healthy. Thank you
A perfect Sunday morning with eggs, hash browns, bacon and another hike from Catherine. I definately would have jumped in and swam to the waterfall. That would top off the hike. Have a wonderful Sunday and thank you for great videos.
It was too cold!
I am used to cold water in the Alberta Rockies, that waterfall pool would have been perfect for me. Now I will have to go and try it. Take care Catherine and stay warm!
👍👍 Absolutely Beautiful!!!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Ah envy. What a beautiful spot!
What a wonderful video, Cat. The scenery and videography are stunning and the piano music playing during the hiking portion was just lovely. We'll have to add that to our list of places to visit.
Really great waterfall sound and a peaceful tone in your trailwalk there!
Thank you for sharing all the beauty of nature with us who are unable to do what you do. I just feel so sad because you look so alone out there.
@Hannah Shepherd being alone in nature is a great opportunity to clear your head and do some thinking. I look forward to the rare times I get to do it.
Your videos never cease to amaze. Beautiful photography!
