It’s about a four hour drive from Arches to Bryce Canyon, two well known and well visited National Parks in the Southwest, and the path takes you near the lesser known, but stunningly gorgeous, Capitol Reef National Park. We deliberately left some time for serendipity on our road trip days, so we decided to spend a few hours exploring this less traveled spot on the Utah landscape.
While we were driving by, I spotted these desert bighorn sheep hanging out on the mountainside and squealed to Justin that we had to stop. He was reluctant to do so, he insisted that anything with horns that big wouldn’t hesitate to use them if startled. Although they were a good hundred yards away, he instructed me to RUN back to the car if they started to charge.
But these guys were so unimpressed by me…
As I stood there oohing and ahhing over them, you could almost hear them saying, “Sigh. Tourists.”
