Finished work and it's time to leave Escalante, UT.
Our hosts Julie and Dan give us a good breakfast before hitting the road
 |
and we're off!
Taking Scenic ByWay back through Grand Staircase Escalante NM
Make it through the twisting turning roads and now over the mountain
before Capital Reef NP
It's all open range here and we've passed several on the side of the road
Apparently this youngster has no fear
Tucson gave him the what-for about crossing the road without his Mom and he scooted back off to Mom and his siblings.
The views are spectacular
We make it to Capital Reef NP
The scenery changes from rad to white
and then starts to look a lot like the badlands
and an occasional farm
Our turn to go up to 70 and a good place for a rest and picnic lunch
More interesting rock formations
Then pretty flat until we get to our turnoff for 70
Make it to Colorado!
The original plan was to get to Rifle Colorado and overnight at a Walmart and get grocery shopping done. It is still early and I saw this State Park on the Map and it is right off the highway so we opt to spend the night here instead.
We get a nice pull thru site with electric
A small fishing pond across the road
and the Colorado River on the other side.
A lucky find for the night
Should make it to our destination in Nederland Colorado tomorrow!
