Busy day today…. After a yummy breakfast bagel at Sweet Cravings in Moab we stopped at Dead Horse Point State Park. What fabulous views of Canyonlands and the Colorado River.
Additional photos of Dead Horse Point (10).

From there we toured the bizarre formations at Goblin Valley State Park,

a side trip that included a few minutes of black-out conditions in a dust storm.

Here are some additional photos from Goblin Valley (16).
On the way to Capitol Reef we were treated to truly unearthly landscapes along Highway 24 near Hanksville, UT. The day ended with a few miles of preliminary reconnoitering of Capitol Reef in anticipation of tomorrow’s full day tour of the park. Our humble room at the Best Western includes another stunning vista off the back patio:
