Capitol Reef National Park

Using Chris's gift of walking sticks, we hiked to

Hickman Bridge this morning-two miles round trip.

Capitol Reef is a 100 mile stretch of Wingate sandstone formations located in southern Utah. It is named "Capitol" because there are domes in the park that resemble the Capitol dome in Washington, D.C. The "reef" is coined that because it is a barrier.

The bighorn sheep walked right across the road while we were following the Scenic Drive.

We finished the day with my favorite activity: we hiked through Grand Wash. I love the washes in Borrego Springs and this was the most spectacular wash I've seen.

Now on to Grand Canyon!!!
