We were going to go to Arches, and Moab, but found out that there was a Jeep convention there, and no camping and no hotel anywhere around, so we pressed on to Capitol Reef, which Barbara had never been to, and thoroughly enjoyed.
We stayed at a comp ground in an area called Fruita which was a desert farming area, since there were springs there and flowing water. A hardy few folks settled here, and found that their fruit trees thrived in the sun, heat and water. Several of the groves are still active today, and park visitors can harvest fruit for a nominal fee during certain seasons.
Barbara really enjoyed the feeling of the place. She is a lover of Red Rock Desert areas like this and Sedona.
A beautiful view coming over Highway 12.
And in to one of the back canyon roads - as far as I was comfortable taking the RV.
The girls on their respective phones.
Bryce NP on our way through to Zion
And a couple of views of Zion National park.
Out for a walk at Zion.
A funny sign along the way somewhere around Bryce...After leaving Zion, I did a long haul into the night, and we camped in a hole in the wall south of Vegas, and tootled home from there.
