After the museum, we all had some lunch together, and here we split ways: Jared, April & Lucy went home one way, and Beccah, Nick & I decided to drive home through Capitol Reef. We saw so many beautiful sights, and we were also able to see more petroglyphs, though not as up close. It was a wonderful drive home. The beauty of it has stayed with us, weeks afterwards.

| So stunning! Nothing can match the beauty of nature. |

The weather was so nice, not too cold at all. A glorious way to say goodbye
to the autumn. |
 |
| Everywhere we looked was magnificent. |
As with Boulder, I'd never been through this area of Utah before either and it was such a
great opportunity. All three of us were so impressed by everything we saw, the beauty of it
almost wore us out by the end of the day.

| I don't know if I've ever seen autumn leaves in the desert like this before. |

| Do you see the row of figures on the rock? |
Our last stop was in the little town of Helper. It has an old-fashioned charm to it for sure. I loved the vintage Christmas decorations they had up in the streets already. We stopped at a gas station and talked to the woman about her town and how it was changing and growing.

| Love the old J.C. Penney building too! |
 |
| The town is beautifully situated up against the mountain. |
