Easy trail (longer hike) to a beautiful waterfall.
One of my favorite areas to hike! The entire trail goes from Boulder - Escalante and would take all day or overnight. You can hike part of this trail as an out and back: start at the boulder mail trail, trailhead, hike ~3 miles down to sandcreek (usually there is some water) and back out for a total of ~6-7 miles. The trail is exposed, so go early or be very prepared for the heat.
Gorgeous drive with lots of places to stop. Start in Boulder, go as far as you want. I recommend at least going as far as Singing Canyon. It's an amazing spot. Download a map with spots you might want to stop. No cell service. Bring a picnic and find a pullout to stop and have lunch in the desert.
Fun drive, check road conditions. Gorgeous views. Boulder--> Escalante
Easy hike along the Escalante river. Wear shoes to walk in the river.
