Trip to Capitol Reef

Mindy and I escaped to Capitol Reef National Park this weekend.

We spent Saturday exploring the park by car and by foot (once we got our campsite setup). I hadn't been to Capitol Reef before so I didn't know what to expect, but I came away very impressed with the park's geologic features. I need to go back there and, at least, finish the hike up the Grand Wash. It seems that there's so much to explore there.

I was also amazed at night by all the stars visible from this deserted part of the country.
