Allan & Mike took off a couple of days early and did some exploring of Capitol Reef National Park. Day hikes included a trip to the Hickman Bridge, Grand Wash, and visits to many other historical and geological sites in the Park.

The descriptions under the photo thumbnails in the album sometimes contain links to maps or additional information. These are identified by "Blue” text for links. I've also inserted links to Google Maps to show where certain photos in the album were taken or to locate features shown in the photos. Click on the link, close the sidebar, and choose satellite view. Basically, you can then zoom in and out using the mouse wheel or drag the map by clicking and holding.

Bill: In 1965, Sue and I were on our "honeymoon" pulling a U-haul across the country for my job in Los Angeles. One of the stops we made was hiking up to the Hickman Bridge. We were the only ones on the trail - how times have changed.

Allan: This was what i enjoyed the most at Capital Reef. It was 2.2 miles of narrowing canyon walls with a slight incline. The path was a smooth road. I really want to take my wife here.

Allan: I pulled something in my groin walking too fast up the Grand Wash. At the end there was a parking lot. Mike walked back down and I caught a ride to this visitor center and met Mike there
