After packing up our camp, we took off for our drive across southern Utah. Along the way we passed through Capitol Reef, a portion of Utah where pieces of land have broken and slid up sideways to expose different layers of rock.
Some of the landscapes we passed after Green River
The Middle of Nowhere! Petrified Sand Dunes are all you can see beyond the ghostly white sandstone canyons.
As we were driving along, there were multiple viewing areas where we could stop and look out over various canyons, desert areas, and rock formations.
Katy was amazed at the multitude of different rock colors throughout our drive. We saw many formations that were white colored like this one, red, yellow, black, and blue.
This is "Big Rock Candy Mountain," and we just had to get a picture of it.
Near Circleville, UT
We had lunch at an out of the way diner in Hatch, UT called the Galaxy Diner and the food here was fantastic. Katy had the lunch special of pasta and garlic break and I had the fish and chips plate. As we left, we got a strawberry milkshake to go. All the food was great and the diner had a great charm.
we didn't see any wildlife :(
We took the scenic route through southern Utah in the hopes of driving through Zion National Park, but although we got a picture at the sign, roadwork in the park forced us to go around through northern Arizona and added about 2 hours onto our trip.
