    Do you know where this is?

    Just curious. Google brings nothing up when you search for Choal Falls, so I'm thinking that might just be a local name for it. The region is most likely in the Escalante/Glen Canyon area.

    thanks

    I think it's in Non-technical-canyonlandia.
    It's my job to call the BS around here. Get over it.

    Actually, I'm pretty sure this is lower Kaibito Creek on the Navajo Reservation (incidentally, closed to hiking ). On the website "Choal" is misspelled. It should be Chaol. Kaibito Creek runs in Chaol Canyon. If you look at page 266 of Mike Kelsey's Boaters Guide to Lake Powell, you will see an almost identical picture of the falls.

    Nat is right, though on the 7.5 minute maps, the falls is labeled as Pinyon Falls.
    Utah is a very special and unique place. There is no where else like it on earth. Please take care of it and keep the remaining wild areas in pristine condition. The world will be a better place if you do.

    Hiking up to the falls from the lake is very popular with boaters. It's only about a 15 minute hike when Lake Powell is at full pool. Most boater I know refer to the falls as "Swiss Cheese", which may or may not be useful info.

    Ok, found it -- first creek East of Page. Thanks for the info, I'm headed down to that area today, so it's disappointing it's on the res, cause it would've been cool to check that area out, but considering I've got the Buckskin & Paria to do, I think I've got enough on my plate already.

    A slight piece of trivia regarding the name-Cha'ol is actually the Dine word for pinyon pine, hence the dual names.
