On the 13th we drove from Cedar City, UT to Salida, CO.
We drove through Cedar Breaks National Monument, then through Capitol Reef National Park, north to I-70, then east to Vail, CO where we turned south on hwy 24. We stopped in Leadville and ate at the worst Pizza Hut restaurant in the world, then continued south to Salida, CO. It was a long day.
602 miles • 10 hours; 31 minutes driving time (I did say it was a long day).

Capitol Reef National Park, UT
You could shoot photos in the park all day, and still not capture the magnificence. It's an amazing place to stop and explore.
