Wow, this was one of the most beautiful drives we’ve ever done! It brought us through such beautiful scenery, we enjoyed every minute of it! The Scenic Byway 12 got us all the way up to almost 10000 Feet/3000m, where we had lunch with Alder forest and a great views around us. Everywhere we saw hunters in their neon-pink outfits.

As we had been driving lots the past few days, we made an early stop in Fruita at the Capitol Reef National Park. We got a great spot in the sun next to an old Mormon orchard, where we picked some apples. Oh, those are soooo much better than store-bought! Had some fresh homemade pie from the Historic Gifford Homestead. We also watched a group of deer grazing by our spot, which left Chester totally unimpressed, though the deers were very curious about him.
