Capitol Reef - Day Two (Mother's Day)

One of the things Eileen has wanted to do since we moved here was to go to Capitol Reef and walk down the Grand Wash. Since it was Mother's Day we decided to to this. Neal and Annette had never done it so it was lots of fun. We didn't make it all the way to the end of the wash (maybe next time) but since going back to the parking area was uphill we turned around just as we were starting to get tired. It is a gentle slope up and we took our time.
There are so many sites to see with all the different formations it can be overwhelming. These photos are just a small sample. You can see more on our flickr under the group called Capitol Reef. Be sure to check it out.
As you can see, most of the way is very wide and easy going. There were only a couple of places it gets rocky and you have to watch your footing. But boy is the walk worth going on.


We are standing under an overhang and looking up. It was starting to get warm and the shade felt really good.
Eileen really enjoyed her Mother's Day walk.
