By about 5:15 V+K were past the tiny village of Hanksville, headed west on UT-24, and within in the boundaries of Capitol Reef National Park. Capitol Reef is different than most of the wilderness parks in the area as it was a place settled and cultivated by Mormon pioneers. While it’s not particularly scenic, of note in this shot is the green water fountain in the right foreground. ALL the parks made a point of providing free water and stressing the need to stay hydrated. Ken supposes doing so was vastly cheaper than needing to rescue hikers that collapsed from dehydration.
