Labor Day Weekend: Capitol Reef NP

The main part of our weekend was spent at Capitol Reef National Park.







I took a ton of pictures, but these are only a few. We went on a couple of hikes and saw lots of rocks and old stuff.


A big part of the park showcases the pioneers that settled there (in Fruita).
We saw an old house.
 The mormon pioneers that settled Fruita planted orchards that you can still pick from today.
We picked some apples there that were super yummy.


We also stopped by this school house.

There are still carvings on the rocks that the kids that went to school here made many years ago.


 I took tons of pictures of the pretty rocks here, but I won't post them all. 
It is a beautiful park. I love all the colors and textures of the rock.
