Capitol Reef National Park

Our next destination was Yellowstone. We might have been able to get there in one day, but instead of pushing ourselves we chose to make it a more leisurely, two-day journey. The scenic route took us to Capitol Reef National Park, a 100-mile long wrinkle in the earth's crust in southeastern Utah.
