Finding Peace in the Great Outdoors–Capitol Reef National Park

Here’s what Capitol Reef National Park looks like from my point of view.
 

I truly believe one of the best ways of finding peace in this crazy world is by losing yourself in the great outdoors.  Something about the solitude and relaxed beauty of the natural world can bring perspective in our busy lives. Over fall break, we took the kidlets and drove to Southern Utah and visited Capitol Reef National Park.  We found a lot of peace and a lot of beauty waiting for us there. 

Here are some photographs that I took along our journey.  I was snapping pictures left and right (to the great annoyance of my family), but I couldn’t help it.  Perfectly gorgeous.  Capitol Reef National Park is seriously one of my favorite places in the ENTIRE world.  If you are looking for more information check out this post to know how to visit Capitol Reef in ONE DAY or the BEST app ever to guide you through the Mighty 5 National Parks in Utah.  There’s even a Shaka TOUR app just for Capitol Reef. 

 

 
 
 
 
 
We stayed in these awesome Deluxe Cabins at Thousand Lakes RV Park near Torrey, Utah.  We loved the cabins!  They had beds, a microwave, bathrooms with a toilet and shower (yay!), cable TV, heat/AC, and a mini fridge.  Just enough to stay comfortably, but we didn’t have to worry about bringing the tent.  Great rates (less than $100), great service, great experience all together. Highly recommended!!
 
 

 The Autumn colors were spectacular. . . 

 

 
 
 
Can you see the deer?  The park is full of deer.

About Lisa Jorgensen

I was hit by an intoxicated driver when I was walking on the sidewalk. I was also 6 months pregnant at the time. I learned a huge lesson about miracles and not taking life for granted. I believe in finding the good and making life blissful with family, food, and fun ideas. Every moment matters.
