Pleasant Creek East, Capitol Reef

Capitol Reef might well be our favorite national park, and this might be our new favorite trail.  Paul was still dealing with an injury, so he did a windshield tour while Pam, Jill and I did an out-and-back hike

The trail notes on the map say "lots of interesting side canyons to explore". We didn't explore them on this trip, but wow we plan to go back. Spending a couple of nights would be the way to check out all the side canyons.

The Capitol Reef Field Station (affiliated with Utah Valley University) is located in this canyon, what a beautiful setting.
