Day eight

We had no coverage all day so this blog is a day late….

This morning we got up to watch the sunrise at Bryce Canyon around 5:15 am. It was such a site. We took a walking trail through the canyon walls. It was so amazing and hard to describe. Maybe the pictures can help a bit. After the great morning, we started our 3-hour drive to Capitol Reef National Park. When we arrived we took a short break and then started to go in to the park. We made it to a great spot called Capitol Gorge where we walked about 4-miles with more spectacular sites. The kids spent the walk looking for geodes. You can see how they look like cool crystals inside when you break them open. When we got back to the campsite, we relaxed, ate and went to a ranger talk. At the talk she gave us a good history of the early settlers of Capitol Reef.
