The Last Leg of Our Journey!

Capitol Reef National Park

This is a smaller and more out of the way National Park, but it’s so beautiful. It was named for the domes that look like the top of the Capitol building.

The red rocks in the park are like Sedona on steroids. There are cliffs, huge spires, the Canyon Gorge, and massive canyons.

The Fruita area of the park is where you can see Freemont Native American Petrogyphs along with orginal buildings and fruit orchards from the early mormon settlers. You can even pick fruit at the orchards for $1.00/pound (but at this time of year the pickins’ are slim. We didn’t even get one apple). Fun Idea though.

Just outside Capitol Reef the little town of Torrey welcomes you with a dummy sitting in a police car to slow down traffic. It works, because everyone is taking pictures of the dusty car/policeman dummy. I don’t think this car has been moved in years. The town also has this fun band that plays at the farmers market on Saturday afternoon.

The North Rim of the Grand Canyon

A perfect last stop for us - Breathtaking!

We made it home safely. After 8,970 miles and 5 months on road, we’re still talking to each other!!! We overcame the bumps in the road and overall had such a great time.

This trip is all behind us now….

THANKS FOR COMING ALONG FOR THE RIDE!
