Here are a few more images from Capital Reef National Park. As I mentioned here previously, this under-visited park is definitely worth a drop by if you are in Southwestern Utah. They don’t even charge you an entrance fee.
All three of these images were taken along Highway 24, the main east-west artery that passes through the park.
The first photo is Chimney Rock, taken at sunset, which accounts for the amazing colors. Chimney Rock lies at the west end of the park is one of many great viewpoints available to you in this part of the park.
The second photo is further into the park, where Highway 24 enters a very narrow canyon, just past the Fruita area. I like this photo very much.
The third photo shows a small waterfall along the Fremont River that parallels the highway. You have to hike down through some rather thick underbrush to see it as it is not visible from the road. No big deal. At this point, the cliffs tower above you at least 2,000 feet. It is quite spectacular to see and nearly impossible to capture photographically.
There is one more stop on my latest Southwestern journey, before I head off to visit family and friends and to photograph a wedding…and that place has the enticing name of, Valley of the Goblins. Stay tuned…
