On to Bryce Canyon

After our visit to Capital Reef National Park, we headed west and south toward Bryce Canyon. Along the way, we stopped for gas at a place I thought only existed in the old Burl Ives song. Big Rock Candy Mountain. It is indeed a real place with a restaurant, cabins, and rafting trips.

We arrived at the entrance of Capital Reef National Park in the late afternoon. Not wanting to risk failing to find a campsite in the park, I turned around and drove about three miles back to a parking area we passed. What we found was a pleasant surprise.
