Capitol Reef National Park

Amanda, James, Lillian, Hiram, and Aliza Ross at Capitol Reef National Park

In March 2021 the Ross family went on a little excursion with Amanda’s family to Junction, Piute, Utah. With them we hit Bryce Canyon National Park and some other locations. However, we used it as a springboard to hit some other locations that the Hemsley family did not go with us. One of those places was Capitol Reef National Park.

The drive between Junction was off the beaten path. We ventured through little towns like Kingston, Angle, Greenwich, Koosharem, Loa, Lyman, Bicknell, and Torrey.

We only had about half the day to play in Capitol Reef. We ended up spending the night in Escalante after visiting some parts of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.

Here you can see some of the different layers over the millions of years.

Here is another vista that takes your breath away. Photos never do it justice.

We did some hiking in the park. It was a bit chilly in some of the locations and with the young children we were limited on how far we could walk. Amanda snapped those pictures, not me.
