| Grand Gulch |
By now we've gotten into a routine of waking, breakfast, then driving to our next hiking destination for a day hike in the morning, then lunch, then afternoon day hike, then driving to our evening boondocking campsite. This morning we left camp rather early, and chose a hike through Grand Gulch in Capitol Reef National Park.

| Cassidy Arch |
The hike proceeded through a box canyon and ended at Cassidy Arch hike in which we hiked up to the top of the arch spent some time walking across the bridge. Kristi thought it might be a good place to take some photos for her Pilates business website. So she made some poses, and I took photos. Turns out the formation was so large that in order to get the gist of the area you had to zoom out so far she was all but lost in the enormity of it all. It was still fun though. We hiked back along the canyon floor to the parking area, let the dogs out to splash in the small creek there, had lunch then proceeded to drive around towards the visitor's center. On the way we passed an old Mormon school house in Fruita.

| Hickman Natural Bridge |
After a quick look around there, we headed out again on a hike to Hickman Bridge. It was a nice easy hike with a Fremont Indian granary and ruins of a pit house. I'm sure we only scratched the surface of what Capitol Reef had to offer, but our time was running out, and we had only one night left before having to return home.
