Sunset Trail

We packed up and continued southwest after breakfast today. Our lunch stop was at a scenic spot by the side of the road.

We made it to Capitol Reef in the early afternoon, in the midst of another storm. Thankfully, it cleared up as we got to the campsite, but things were wet.

It looked like there were chocolate waterfalls pouring off the sides of the cliffs and the campground was soaked. It made it easier to see where the high ground was though, so we picked out a dry site for our tent.

After setting up, we went to the nature center so the kids could go to the jr. geologist talk. It was raining again, but Heather wanted to pick apricots for jam.

After taking a few pictures, I went out to help her.

Then we went on a scenic drive.

Everything was wet and muddy from all the rain.

After dinner, we went on the Sunset Point trail, a favorite from last time we were here. It didn't disappoint.
