Pat's Sabbatical Trip 2017

We drove down the scenic road to Capital Gorge. There were Indian drawings on the canyon walls, along with names and initials of people from 1888-1920+, which is called "Pioneer Registry".
We then hiked up to the "Tanks", which are depressions in the rocks that retain water and creates pools.
On the way back, we ran into Jean and Phil.En savoir plus

In the morning in Capital Reef NP, we went down Grand Wash dirt road to Cassidy Arch trailhead. Amazing views on the hike to the arch. At the arch there were climbers repelling down the arch 140 ft.
After lunch at the campsite, we drone to Chimney Rock trailhead. Hiked up above Chimney Rock at had great 360 degree views of the area. Winds were strong, so we had to strap down our hats or lose them. We also saw petrified wood on one part of the trail.En savoir plus
