It was a cool morning, 45 degrees, and cloudy skies, but we ventured out on the bikes for a 300 mile ride. We went through Escalante on highway 12 and found the "Ribbon Highway" that we tried to find when we were here in 2002. That lead us to Capital Reef National Park where we saw more red rock formations.
Highway 12 weaving around the rocks high above the canyon floor.
It was pretty nerve wracking having no land on either side of the road.

More of the "Ribbon Highway".

Chimney Rock, going into Captial Reef Nat. Park.

There was red rock everywhere!

100 year old Gifford House which was located in the park. They served homemade pie and ice cream.

Lloyd was leading the ride and did not stop for lunch. So by 2 pm we were ready to eat anything. Here we are enjoying our pie and ice cream.

The Fremont Indians drew these petroglyphs on the side of the canyon walls.

Rock wall where the petroglyphs are drawn.

Dome rock, named because it looks like the Capital Dome of Washington, DC.
