Capitol Reef
The last couple of years it has become a family tradition to take the Family to Capitol Reef in the Spring. It's a great time to go, because it's not too hot and by March, we are pretty much tired of being cooped up by ice and snow and we're ready for an adventure. This trip, we stayed at The Red Sands Hotel. It's a delightful hotel just East of Torrey, Utah. The room was great and because March is the off-season, we had the pool pretty much to ourselves. I did some research and I realized that a bunch of us stayed at the same hotel when I was at Snow College back in '00. Being a 40 year old dad is different than being a 20 year old college student; but not as much different as I thought it would be. It was March, so there was always a little threat of rain. But that mostly just made the hiking fun. You are not broiling in the sun and you always have the excitement of wondering if you'll make it back to the car before you get soak...
