Exploring the underground hut

My work view everyday! Weather was amazing!
Cathedral walls surround this canyon
We really enjoyed our campsite and patio - the ribeyes over the fire were amazing
Pedicure time
❤️
Michelle, Presley, Grace and I thoroughly enjoyed our girl time
Yum! S’mores!
Many petroglyphs
Such an amazing hike
Trucks parked in the canyon
Science experiment with the Duffy kids
We hiked a little around the park - this view shows where the mountains were blasted through in the 1980s for a new highway - this is when most of the Native American ruins were found
Team work!
Kids found a skatepark in Richfield

Jackson and Jason fishing
Grace getting used to the ramps
More petroglyphs
Dinner and fire with the Duffy’s
So much cooler inside than up top!
This was Grace’s first time
Across from the campground was a soccer field
The trail
It took some patience (on my part) but she did pretty good even though she had to push her bike sometimes
We got to go on a hunt around the park to try to hit various animals with the atlatls

We went on a major adventure on the weekend and took both trucks into the northern part of Capitol Reef National Park. We drove on 12 miles of unimproved roads to get down into the canyon. We did a short hike to see the cathedrals
The park
Picnic lunch before the hike
Starting to climb to the trail
First adult night out without kids in months!
Every direction and every turn is a new view
The Duffys are big soccer fans and pretty much kicked our butts!

At the end of the trail
We upgraded our spot to one with a patio and fire pit
The trail
One night we had both families out running the field
Presley was so amazing with Grace - she let her do her hair and entertained her all week
Michelle giving Grace a bang trim
Looked like enormous sand castles
And more
The Duffy and Ruggless families
The last weekend in Richfield we explored this state park
On Mother’s Day, we drove up to Fish Lake to cookout and try some fishing
They were teaching how to throw atlatls at the state park
Some times they ride and sometimes they run
The rock collector

Trail
Our archaeologist
We used it several times
They look like church cathedrals made of sand
Pretty proud of her abilities and giving this a try!
And more! This was a fun place to explore until we ventured down a path and ran into a rattlesnake!
Examining stuff in the kids lab area of the visitor center
Our cookout
It was very windy
Break in the shade
Grain storage
One of our final adventures in this area was going mountain biking
He’s getting braver going off jumps
