| partners | | the drive from escalante to capitol reef goes over boulder mountain
it was still snowing and the road was icy, slushy and slick - john has his hands full
we stopped at the visitors center to check out some of the closures
chimney rock trail was closed, as was the scenic drive past the campground
cassidy arch was high on the list, so we figured out an alternate route
cohab canyon to frying pan to cassidy arch spur
this turned out to be a great choice, our favorite hike of the trip
lots of cool rock formations, great views, good trail and the arch
we hung out at the arch for awhile, watching some people rappel, then retraced our steps
next up was hickman bridge
lots of people on this short hike, but a nice destination
checked out the petroglyphs, then made a loop out of sunset and gooseneck trails on our way out
capitol reef is my favorite of the utah national parks for hiking, although i would like to spend more time in the needles district of canyonlands
cohab and frying pan were new ones for me, still need to go all the way to navajo knobs
good burgers at the rim rock restaurant in torrey
stayed in cabins at thousand lakes rv park
i also recommend torrey trading post for a camping cabin
great day  |
