6/12/19 - Capital Reef


There is really not much to do at Capital Reef, other than look at the landscape (which is pretty remarkable).  There is however, an old farm, that they have preserved and converted some of it to a campground.  It is along the Fremont River, which allowed us to walk among some trees for a while.

Our hotel, the Capital Reef Resort, had a large selection of accommodations, including the wagons and teepees seen here.  The amazing thing is that they had a large "bath house", with a dedicated bathroom for each wagon and teepee...  (We stayed in the motel.)


And they had llama trips, but we just looked....


And Susie got a nice shot of the sunset....  We felt guilty not staying up to look at the stars (most of the trip was in a "Dark Skies" area), but our excuse is that the moon was pretty full during our trip....
