capitol reef

Capitol Reef had a really chill ranger that casually told us not to miss an area at the end of the road where it becomes a dirt road. Turns out it is quite narrow and the canyon seems to be hanging over you as you drive with some giddy giggly guys and a dad white knuckling it and hilariously describing the drive in a funny voice - the boys favorite. Those are the moments memories are made - ha! We turned around (after making it almost 2 miles!) and headed back for some fresh homemade ice cream next to the horse farm and the fruit trees. Being able to pet a horse made up for the drive - ha! We checked out the tiny schoolhouse that was still in use until 1931 right next to the long path full of petroglyphs along the rock wall.
