Day 183 – Utah Byways – Part 6

Day 183 of Year Long Roadtrip Following Scenic Byways in the USA

All through the night at Lake Powell, VANilla jiggled like a bounce house full of ten year olds.  Sand sprayed VANilla so hard, at times, the sound of it made me wonder if it was raining.  We found no relief from the wind this morning as we headed southeast to Natural Bridges National Monument.

ON THE ROAD AGAIN!

Day 182 of Year Long Roadtrip Following Scenic Byways in the USA

Capitol Reef National Park

We started our morning drive to Capitol Reef National Park, a park we quickly passed through at the beginning of the week while traveling to Bryce.  I recalled seeing a trail to Chimney Rock, so I stopped there on the way into the park and started the trek that ascended 240 feet in the first quarter mile.  It was already relatively late in the morning and a somewhat warm day, so after reaching the plateau for a panoramic view, I returned to VANilla to rescue my dog Petey instead of continuing on the 3.5 mile journey.
