Sadly, our fast and furious tour of Southern Utah was coming to an end. Today we started with a nice breakfast at the Circle D Motel restaurant in Escalante then headed off to Capitol Reef National Park.

We drove on the Utah Scenic Byway 12 up to Boulder, UT and then stopped in Torrey, UT, and then on to the Capitol Reef National Park Visitor Center.

We stopped for lunch in Hanksville and then off to our last stop – Goblin Valley State Park – seeing the goblins was one of Jenifer’s top priorities! Actually very impressive as this was the first time in 16 years living in Utah that I actually stopped there. Joel had been there for photo ops in the past.

THE END!

Jenifer and Steve took off the next morning – who knew that a Costco Card was valid for travel? I guess the black and white, pinkie-nail sized photo is all TSA needed!

Joel and I met cousin Janet and her husband Keith for breakfast in Grand Junction and off we went for the 5 hr. drive to North Ogden.
