Capitol Reef to Moab

The drive from Capitol Reef to our accommodation, 25 minutes into the mountains outside Moab, was full of delights.

We drove Utah 25, to I-70, to US 191.

We had lunch at Duke’s Slickrock Grill in Hanksville, Utah. It was as cool as it sounds. Slow-roast bbq was their specialty and YUM it was.

Yes, I made them do it.

These formations looked like drip castles at the beach. There were gigantic ranges of them.

We rolled into a Rest Stop, maybe the only one we’d seen through the whole trip. It was an excellent Rest Stop.

At the Red Cliffs Lodge, our accommodation for the next three nights, standing on the patio of our cabin. That’s the Colorado River flowing by.

Hi cutie, probably the American Robin.

We decided to walk to the restaurant for dinner. Yikes, it was far, so the property shuttle gave us a ride back to our cabin.

Sundown at the cabin.
