Capital Reef

Drawn to Capital Reef as the first National Park to visit when I moved to Utah, in  May 2012 we stayed in the Sleepy Hollow campground in Cainville. It was in the Waterpocket Fold. 

It was such a treat to be sleeping in one of the oddest land formations on the planet. We spent as much time there as we did in the National Park. There were these crazy looking

plants/flowers that I never was able to identify. Anyone??

I was overwhelmed with the variety of land formations in one spot

and learned that the same spot changed radically depending on where the sun hit it. Petroglyphs need shade.

The last afternoon the wind kicked up and we thought about leaving before our tent blew away. Instead we got inside the tent to hold it down and I let the ferocious wind speak to me.
