Capitol Reef National Park






This one of our newer National Parks and this area was settled by Mormons from Salt Lake City where there was a water supply. The name comes from the rock formation that looks like the dome of thee Capitol and the 100 mile long uplifting of the rocks forming a reef.

The old Homestead had home baked bread and pies - please note who is first in line for his own personal pie! Later in the day we went Geocaching and you might see two men sitting on a rock high on the hill (Gramps wearing his white cowboy hat) - the gals stayed at the bottom to watch!
