#92 Capital Reef National Park in Utah

Blue Sky, Red Rock and Lots of Green!

Our road-trip picnic food was pretty dull,  but the fruit dessert was fabulous.  Between our table and the red rock wall was an orchard of apple trees. The park maintains a couple thousand or more, fruit trees that were once part of a family farm.  We didn't wander far enough to find the pear, plum, apricot,  peach or cherry trees.  But the apples were ripe and a big red "U-PICK" sign gave us instructions!

1- Wooden box contains bags, 2- Pick fruit,  3- Weigh fruit,  4- Put money in metal box.  
​There was a scale and a handy picking tool resting nearby.  We were invited to take fruit home for a dollar a pound... or eat in the park, for free!
