waterpocket fold




The movie at the visitors center in Capitol Reef informed us that one of the notable things about Capital Reef is that it is a "waterpocket fold". Turns out this is the phenomenon that allows for a little oasis to exist in the desert. Now let me tell you we did not hesitate to throw out the catchy phrase "waterpocket fold" any chance we got, which given our surroundings, happened many a time.

Oh how smart we felt.

  3. You and Maren look like twins. I love it! Way to make the jumping pictures super creative! I'd like to imagine you made one of those family music videos and that moment of the jumping picture was a part of it.
