My brother is planning a trip to Utah and Colorado which got me daydreaming about Southern Utah again. 

Capitol Reef National Park is a great park not nearly as busy as Arches, Zion, Bryce, Natural Bridges and other nearby locations. It’s a vast and impressive park for hikers and desert lovers. 

State Route 23 through Fremont River Canyon was actually a road at one time! Sandstone walls are riddled with fossils, petroglyphs, and very old graffiti. If you look closely you will see sharp shooters who managed to spell their names in gunfire. 

It seems one could spend months and months exploring the lovely nature Utah has to offer in its parks. 

What’s your favorite park?
