Capitol Reef National Park

We spent the last few days traveling through one of the most beautiful, desolate areas in the US, the interior part of southern Utah. Routes 62 and 72 were unbelievable, with hardly any traffic. This morning, we went into the Cathedral Valley part of Capitol Reef National Park from the west entrance near Fremont. We had to drove up and over a mountain before dropping down into the valley. This part of the park has huge stone monoliths that come out of the desert floor like jagged teeth. We drove 60 miles on a dirt road, and the scenery was magnificent.
