Jim's Jeep Tours did not disappoint.

Entrance to The Singing Canyon

If only I could have gotten them to sing!

So many choices in the middle of nowhere.

Fruita's one room schoolhouse, circa 1896.

Unfortunately, our timing was off to pick fruit this year.

The Hickman Bridge Trail

I should have read the map...

This most beautiful hike was a bit arduous for the Princess,

Our tour guide, wondering if he's going to  get a tip.

The bridge, at last!

The reward was worth every step.

The diversity of Capitol Reef National Park makes it one of our favorite parks.
