On the next to
the last day of the trip, we started making our way back in the direction of
Escalante, where we were to spend the last night. The first stop was Capital Reef National
Park. We just had time to stop to admire
some rock art and a have quick stop at the visitors center.
The rock art
below was pretty pale, so I enhanced those photos.
This is a moon
calendar.
Then on along
the Bur Trail to the Singing Canyon.
This is a very tall slot canyon that is easily accessible from the road.
Once we got to the back of the canyon, Paula
delighted us by playing her Native American flute.
The haunting echoes of her music were magical!
No wonder they call this Singing Canyon, as
it is not unusual for people to sing or play instruments in there!
Darrell took us
up the road to an alcove where he camped many years ago.
Before turning
back on the Burr Trail, we stopped for some fabulous vistas and notable
geology.
This was also an area where petrified wood
could be found on the sides of the road, so more rock hounding ensued.
There were a lot of wildflowers in bloom
there.
Then back the
way we came and over Boulder Mountain and on to Escalante. We passed this interesting rock formation along
the way!
