I stopped at this cliff to photograph some hieroglyphs. I couldn't see them, but this nice guy showed me where they were so I pointed the camera there. Nothing! I did get this guy riding the thermals.

Still some snow left up high.

This should be Harley Parking Only!

Cool rest area in the Glen Canyon Rec Area.

It won't be long and this will be a dry creek bed.

But for now it adds to the peacefulness of the setting 

A little further down the canyon and I reach the current limit of Lake Powell

The lake level is very low.

Only the Colorado. All of the green area should be under water.

I rode into Hite an old gold mining town, and then Uranium. I rode to the end of the boat ramp and took this pic.

I rode to the top of the boat ramp and took a pic of the same sign. Yep, the lake is very low.

You used to be able to motor boat around those rock features.

I took a pic of this rock formation from the town of Hite. I think it is a ghost town now because of the low water levels in the lake.

I haven't figured out how to capture the depth of a canyon with a camera yet. This is really deep.

What would you name this butte?

It is called Cheese Box Butte

I looked and looked and looked but couldn't find the bridge.

I asked a couple there if they could see it. They thought I was joking but they pointed it out to me. I took a close up and sure enough!

No way could I hike to this one.

The way this canyon is carved makes one want to be standing here during a good flash flood.

Another hard to find one.

This was the last one in the loop, and the best.

Even I could find it.

As high as it is on the left, the drop on the right is the same.

Open range, I got startled by a couple on the side of the road that I didn't see until I could pet them.

I caught this raven leaving his perch. I thought it was a baby calf until he took off.

Approaching Capitol Reef Nat'l Park

It is always amazing to see amazing formations standing alone in a field.

I stopped here because there were some view finders that showed some feature names.

I named this one, Eagles Perch.

Close neighbors

Fee, Fie, Foe, Fum

Nice camp spot

Big wall, little waterfall

95* just looking at it made me feel cooler.

Makes for an enjoyable ride

I hated the tar snakes on this road, the ones parallel to your line would make you pucker!

Once inside the park, the road had been re-paved

I could enjoy the scenery more and pay a little less to the road.

I still keep it between the lines. :)

View from the visitor center

A little 10 mile side road from the visitor. 10 in, 10 out.

This area had been settled at one time

If my old bones would co-operate I could do a better job of composing these, but alas...........

Each curve brings a new and different view.

The end of the trail for me. One can continue on dirt if they want and there is no threat of rain.

The canyons are so narrow you would be bashed to death in event of a flash flood.

Had to pay attention in all of the curves, lots of sand.

Some of these look like ancient city walls

Lucky he's leaning that direction

Chimney Rock, different then the NC version.

Ringo got up early to say good bye. Thank you Joe and Yvette for your generous hospitality and visit. It is not often that I'm the one keeping someone up past their bedtime. :)

I'm having a lazy day today just riding down I-70

A little more desert appearance, but it still inspires the imagination.

Looking down into the Green River Valley

My $59 Room

Everything you need

Park outside your door and great wi-fi

Match that with a nice restaurant. What more can you ask for?
