Hiking in Capitol Reef

(By the way, that's one way with a 1000 foot ascend)
                                                                                                   
There are several hikes available in Capitol Reef, each a little different than the other.  The Cassidy Arch is actually named after Butch Cassidy, of the famed Butch and Sundance.  I met a great couple at the start and we hiked to the Arch and shared our travel experiences along the way.  The Capitol Gorge Trail was amazingly windy with desert sand most of the way.  Having said that, the views of the canyons were worth it.  Enjoy some pictures of all three hikes.  TC...
