Capitol Reef NP

We decided to stay in Torrey another day and "do" Capitol Reef today.  Good decision!  We made the scenic drive almost all the way to capitol dome.
The scenery was gorgeous!

One of the things we really like about this park is its accessibility.  Like Kodachrome and unlike Brice Canyon, one can get up close and personal with the scenery.

The colors are just amazing...

and the variety of rocks impressive.
We had a great day, complete with picnic lunch under giant cottonwood trees.    Life is good!
