Grand Staircase- Escalante National Monument is pleased to announce that the Calf Creek Recreation Site reopened on Saturday, September 28, 2024, following nearly three months of extensive construction improvements. Minor construction activities will continue through the upcoming weeks.
“Thanks to the support of Garfield County and local residents, the BLM was able to complete phase one of this multi-year project, tentatively scheduled for 2025 through 2026,” said Assistant Monument Manager Doug Rowles. “We have enhanced the facilities at Calf Creek to provide visitors with an even better outdoor experience.”
Overall, the project aims to improve visitor experiences for years to come through several site improvements, which this year included campground renovation, new shade shelters, new retaining walls along the creek and water play area, and repair of the campground swinging pedestrian bridge.
