Great Western Road Trip Day 19

Progress: Moab to Capitol Reef National Park

Mileage: 190

Much cooler at the higher elevation around Capitol Reef, although mountain storms came in off and on.

Stunning vistas here, where the main feature is a massive monocline. I did some hiking in the gorges, the scenic drive, a couple ranger presentations and camped near old Mormon orchards that are still maintained

Hiking the Capitol Gorge
Quite tame deer wandering through the campground
Camping adjacent the orchards
incredible vistas that the pictures can’t adequately capture
