While the guys did some motorcycle riding, Janice and I went horseback riding for several hours through the back country. It was so much fun, but was my back side sure sore for several days!
On our first day, we hiked Capital Gorge in Capital Reef National park. Here is Janice and me resting in what litte shade was round and we were astonished at all the wild flowers around.
Capital Gorge is where many of the pioneers traveled through. The walls are carved with some of ther names and dates that they passed through.
The view of Capital Gorge.
Here is the Egyptian Temple formation somewhere in Capital Reef park.
On our second day we hiked up to Lower Calf Creek falls. It was a 6 mile hike that took us about 5 hours. Across the river we saw these pictographs. They were very tall to be able to see them from so far away. These were put here by the Fremont Indians.
Lots of flowers blooming!
Lower Calf Creek falls. It was beautiful and cold. We soaked our hot feet, but didn't brave a swim.
On our way back home, we stopped at Hell's Backbone bridge. What a spectacular view. Here's Dave.
We also stopped at Kodachrome Basin. Here is a pic of the only arch in the park.
The sentinel in Kodachrome Basin, also Chimney Rock.
Kodachrome Basin is known for its sedimentary pipes. These odd looking rock spires were very plentiful.
Our last stop was Bryce Canyon. Here is a pic of the hoodoos at Inspiration Point. Amazing!
Here we are with Steve and Janice Bagley at Inspiration Point.
An arch ...more like a natural bridge.
