Utah is So Freaking Beautiful! (Capitol Reef National Park)

            That was a phrase among many other I said to myself while visiting the national parks and monuments this past October. Here I was walking along the edge of the cliff walls on the Chimney Rock Loop taking in views to the southeast across Capitol Reef National Park. By handling my SLR camera slightly downward, I wanted to capture that view looking across the varied and changing landscape of this national park and use the towering cliffs of the Waterpocket Fold as an amazing backdrop.
