On the way to Bryce National Park, I was able to drive through Capitol Reef National Park. The scenery here in southern Utah is always spectacular. The key to good pictures is the time of day. I have a tendency to travel between 8 and noon which is not an optimum time for pictures, so I cheat a little with my Elements 7.
This is Navajo Dome.
The Grand Staircase is a fairly new national monument that spans a lot of acreage. It’s really just more spectacular scenery.
Along the way I stayed at Thousand Lakes RV Park outside of Torrey. I got there just in time because the wind starting blowing like springtime in New Mexico.
The gift shop had some great stuff, so I did some Christmas shopping. I also got myself another hat and some earrings. This the view from my spot.
On the second day I walked the three miles into town, just trying to stay in shape. This is one of the remaining log churches. It was built in 1898 and served as a church and school house for the LDS church. It was the first building in the pioneer town of Torrey.
This is downtown Torrey. There were several restaurants and B & B’s. In Utah, when you’re not looking at crazy rock formations, you’re seeing some pretty farm country and valleys. They do have trees.
