Capitol Reef National Park
It's official. Rhod and I have entered the red... in more ways than one! The one that I'm going to bore you with is the red of the magnificent desert scenery of Southern Utah's national parks. The other sort of red is too depressing to talk about!Capitol Reef National Park contains a 100 mile long 'wrinkle' in the Earth's crust called the Waterpocket Fold. As a result, there is some pretty spectacular scenery to be seen. We set off to hike to Cassidy Arch where outlaw Butch cassidy used to hide inbetween bank robberies. Unfortunately, we never got that far. We had failed to account for the hour's less sunlight and both of us had forgotten to bring any food for emergencies. I can think of a word that would describe us! We had a great time despite this and due to the time of the year had the whole park pretty much to ourselves.
