Day 23, Richfield, UT, to Fruita, CO



Nice clear skies greeted us this morning with the temperature in the mid 60's. After a big breakfast at the motel, we drove over some small mountains to reach the road to Capital Reef National Park. The drive to the park was quite lovely, going over a couple of passes. We spent a couple of hours driving and hiking around Capital Reef. It is an amazing place. If you haven't been, GO. If you have been, GO AGAIN. We then drove back to Torrey, UT, for a lunch at Brinks Burgers -- good food. The drive back to and out of the park was almost as beautiful as the park itself. However, the drive from 12 miles west of Green River, UT, to about the state line was through some very desolate country. We drove about 20 miles into Colorado and stopped for the night in Fruita.
