Capitol Reef National Park: Torrey, UT

Capitol Reef National Park was a nice surprise. We had fun driving through the area.
We have seen a lot of rock on this road trip, but here we saw a greenish layer that we had not seen elsewhere.





























The kids completed the Junior Ranger program here. While on our way out of the park, we came across the historic Fruita Schoolhouse and some petroglyphs. It was so cool to see these old pictures carved in stone.

Know Before You Go: In addition to the Junior Ranger badge program, Capitol Reef offers a Junior Geologist program where kids can earn a patch. This is only done on Tuesdays during certain times of the year.
