It was another moving day today. There were two ways to get to Torrey from our last stop; you could either drive directly using Utah 12, or come looping to the north on US 89 and two Utah highways. The former was one of the hardest mountain drives of the trip, the latter was a little longer but easier to drive. We took the latter…much easier on my nerves.

We got in about lunchtime, then took a drive into Capitol Reef National Park to see the visitor’s center and to get oriented. It was a beautiful intro to the park, and we’ll see it more thoroughly tomorrow. For today we saw a little one room schoolhouse originally used by the Mormon settlers in the early 20th century. We then went to look at some native American petroglyphs. It’s amazing that these have survived all these years for us to marvel at.

Not too many pictures today…we’ll be busy with them tomorrow.
