We were going to visit the Canyonlands NP next, but when we woke up, there was a howling sandstorm. We headed on to the next park, Capitol Reef NP. Fought 50 mph head winds on the drive through the desert, arrived around noon. Set up camp in a grove of tall trees, birds chirping all around. The park is located on an old Mormon farm site, along a creek bed, in an area that was occupied by Freemont natives up until 1300 A.D. We drove up the scenic road along an amazing cliff line that was the main feature of the park. Hiked a trail for a few miles and returned to camp.
