So for the past three years I have joined Chris and his family for a trip to Capital Reef National Park in Southern Utah (very close to Torrey). We stay in a cabin with friends of the family who have been going every Memorial Day weekend for about thirty years now. This year we had the biggest group at the cabin since I have been attending which was seventeen people. Chris and I usually set up a tent outside of the cabin while everyone else just finds a corner to set up shop in. The food is by far the best part of the trip as the attendees are a bunch of foodies who know what they are doing. Some of what we enjoyed this week was payaya, white chicken chili with fancy pants quesadilla and bison meatloaf. There is also plenty of cribbage, wine, reading and good conversation to keep us entertained. In addition to eating we do manage to go on a hike each day that we are there. It's definitely one of my favorite weekends of the year. So here are a few pictures of our hike and some of the scenery of the park.
My shoes after a very muddy hike, the pictures below are of our hike the next day which proved to not be so dirty.
The last picture is the view of the park from our cabin which is surrounded by next to nothing. Also, if you didn't figure it out already the group picture is of most of the folks who were with us.

Amanda it looks like you had lots of fun!! Great pics! Never heard of that park before, might have to check it out.
I loved that trip, even though our tent was in the mud for the first night. In related news, I hate getting out of tents no matter where they are.
