Gunlock Falls

There is a spectacular natural attraction happening in Southern Utah right now and it won't last long. That's right, Gunlock Reservoir is overflowing and that means Gunlock Falls are flowing over the natural rock spillway; it is a sight to see, but you must act quickly. You snooze, you lose!

Our first glimpse of Gunlock Falls 

What an amazing sight!

We did not expect to see this . . . yes, he did live to tell about it!

 Downstream from the falls, the water will merge with the Virgin River 

Where did all the people go?!

Here's a side view of the falls with the Beaver Dam Mountains in the distance

You ask, where does all this water come from . . . 
the Santa Clara River flows into Gunlock Reservoir and on rare occasions it overflows
creating Gunlock Falls, a spectacle for all to see
