We really enjoyed this park.
Our site was lovely and the weather was fine!
We took a walk through the dunes....
which really suited our little "king of the mountain"!
Hobbes enjoyed running in the dunes, digging, and yes, eating sand!
Fortunately, faces do wash!
Our next stop was one of our all time favorite parks, Kodachrome Basin.
Another great campsite in a beautiful setting.
After two days of hiking and enjoying the great setting,
we moved on. Jim decided we should take Route 12, a scenic highway across the Escalante Staircase.
Our next two nights were spent at Escalante Petrified Forest State Park.
We lucked into another great site.
We did the petrified forest trail, even the extra loop, labeled strenuous. It was beautiful and we were amazed at the size, number, and colors of the "once upon a time" trees.
Today we made the breathtaking drive over to Torrey, Utah. We were above canyons,
deep into the canyons, then up, up, up into aspen groves at 9800 feet.
We made it over to beautiful Capitol Reef Nat'l Park only to have our luck run out--there was no room at the campground. The landscape was lovely
and we managed a quite adequate commercial camp in Torrey. After a nice dinner, we are content to sit and think about all the fabulous scenery we have viewed today.
