We left SLC this morning and while on our way south, we took a side trip to drive the Mt. Nebo loop in the Wasatch mountains. The route took us through groves of aspens to a summit over 9300 ft. and spectacular mountain vistas.
After completing the scenic drive and a bite of lunch, we drove to the town of Torrey; quickly checked into our hotel and then headed into Capitol Reef NP. Wow! I challenge anyone to take a bad photo here. We parked and walked a 1 mile trail up to see Hickman natural bridge, then jumped back into the car to take in the Capitol Reef scenic drive. The best was yet to come as we headed for Sunset Point. Though it had clouded in, there were breaks and our patience paid off as the sun broke through and lit up the red mountains and canyon walls.
We've just returned from dinner and are enjoying a bottle of wine (Washington, of course) as we plan our Monday at Grand Staircase/Escalante National Monument.
