Capitol Reef - May 2009!

Okay, so the last blurb was a bit poetic. So, here's to regular folk. Capitol Reef is, as for most desert parks, colorful and still, yet so alive.




I guess that's what I love about the desert.



It's so peaceful. So quiet, you notice everything.

In historic Fruita, a small school house still stands.

Look through a single-pane window and imagine this classroom come to life.
FYI - Fruita makes a nice lunchtime retreat. Homemade pies and sandwiches, picnic tables and shaded park. Sorry, no pics.





The many faces of Capitol Reef. Rob and I noticed all three of these rock formations scattered along one trail.
