One more photo of Grand Wash in Capitol Reef National Park.

I learned yesterday that only about 650,000 people visit Capitol Reef each year - it is not considered a destination park because there is really not too much here but the park. We like it like that! We spent three months here a few years ago and are back for two more months.

We hiked into Torrey in the morning, stopped at the Robber's Roost coffee shop and watched birds on the way home, and hiked some of the Grand Wash in the afternoon.
