Hello! I'm back from a wonderful, challenging, beautiful and fascinating trip to Capitol Reef National Park. Over five days, 10 hikers/campers hiked almost 35 miles! I took about 600 photos. There were a lot of hikers in the park. And, the waterways (i.e. rivers, creeks and ponds) were pretty full. Eight of the ten hikers camped in Fruita Campgound and two slept in the luxury of a hotel in Torrey. All were happy with their accommodations even though temps were low at night. Deer wandered around the campground. You would think that they lived there! Nicely, the campground was located on the scenic drive that takes hikers down to Capitol Gorge and other trails like Pleasant Creek.
