Capitol Reef National Park

Friday August 18th 2017

Today I made it down to Capitol Reef National Park. It is about seventy five miles from by campsite in Richfield UT. I climbed over several areas of high ground to get there. The highest was 8200 feet. Most of high ground was range land and the valley before you get to the park was farm land. It was a nice scenic drive. I made the right decision not to take the RV closer. I passed a coup le of possible campgrounds, but you had to climb a two plus mile eight percent grade.

This blog entry will be all pictures. I will provide a link to all 140 plus pictures once I get them uploaded.
