Beware—Scenic Road is closed
Published on Aug, 2024
We were loving the tour BUT the Scenic Road was closed. It won’t open till October. We didn’t get to the spots where we could see #22-#28. Ugh! We listened to them and tried to imagine what they looked like.
I felt like we had a ranger riding along with us.
Published on Jun, 2024
The view, the scenery, the photos, the narrative, everything about our visit to Capitol Reef was nothing short of spectacular.
