Explore the journey — one trail, museum, meal, and memory at a time.
Escalante to Capitol Reef
A reluctant departure from Deer Creek Campground turns into an unhurried drive toward Capitol Reef National Park. Along the way, quiet roads, frequent photo stops, and a chance ranger discussion about geology, glaciers, and early settlement slow the day to exactly the pace it needed.
Exploring Singing Canyon in Escalante
Camping alone at Deer Creek Campground led to a slow afternoon drive along Burr Trail Road and a short walk into Singing Canyon. The slot canyon’s sculpted sandstone walls, warped acoustics, and late-day light made it a brief but memorable stop before a tense drive back and a quiet evening in camp.
