Rain at Capitol Reef
Capitol Reef National Park is the neglected stepchild between Arches and Canyonlands to the east and Bryce Canyon and Zion to the west. Everyone just passes through it, including me. It’s a shame, since it’s such an interesting place, but I was running out of daylight and their campground was full.
There were so many breaks in the clouds that I thought I could just break through without putting on the rain gear, but no luck. There was always another cloud behind. I’ve gone through so much water this past week that I feel like I’ve swum half the distance. The good thing is that I’m learning how to ride well in the rain again, a skill I lost when I stopped commuting on a motorcycle.
