Chriss Lake is a small fishing lake on Boulder Mountain accessible by hikers, bikers and horse riders via the Chriss Lake Trail. This trail is a scenic hike that offers amazing views of both Escalante and the Grand Staiurcase National Monuments while it makes its ascent through meadow and aspen trees to Chriss Lake. The closest town is Boulder, Utah, which one from there can drive east on Hwy 12 to the Chriss Lake trailhead sign (between mileposts 96 and 97) and turn left to find free parking for the hike.

Camp and Fish Deer Creek Lake

You will be able to see fish colored with bright cutthroat red from the shore line while occasionally seeing them break the surface during feeding. On a...

There will be a dirt turnout on the left hand side that leads to a dirt parking lot and a trail sign with registration for the Upper Calf Creek Falls hike. The sign can be hidden behind some trees so be on the lookout. We missed the turnout the f...
