CAPITOL REEF and GOBLIN VALLEY

We spent Memorial break in Capitol Reef and Goblin Valley with My parents, My brother Brett and his son Alex, My sister Amy and her family and My brother Troy.  It was so fun to explore and hike together.  I added it up and we hiked 16 miles total :) We were there 2 nights and 3 days.  Because it was the Holiday weekend and we were afraid we wouldn't get a place to camp because a lot of the spots are first come first serve, we decided to book a room at the Rodeway Inn in Cainsville just 20 miles outside of Capitol Reef and 35 miles outside of Goblin Valley.  It was nice to have a bed, shower, continental breakfast, pool and hot tub.  We had such a great time!  It is so fun now our kids are older that they enjoy hiking and don't complain. Thanks for the GREAT memories :)
