Capitol Reef and Bryce Canyon, Utah

We are now spending some time just outside Capitol Reef National Park in Utah. The weather has turned much cooler at night so we now have the heat on in the motorhome! Gary and I spent our first day driving around the area seeing more magnificent mountain formations and doing a little hiking on our own. The next day, Dana took us on an all day scenic drive of the area which included hiking into two "slots"--these are deep canyons. Our feet are a little sore, but trying to build up our stamina to keep up with Dana and Cathie. The aspens are beginning to show their fall colors.

That's Diane standing inside one of the slots we hiked too. It's huge!

We are almost in our 4th week of travels, and spent five days camping in the Kodachrome

State campground just outside of Bryce Canyon. We hiked along the edge of the canyon, while Dana and Cathie hiked down inside the canyon--a little too strenuous for us! We also jeeped around the area taking in a few hikes and enjoying the beautiful scenery. The pictures just don't do justice to the area.
