Today we decided to take the Grand Wash trail. We had to drive in over an unpaved road to the trail head. The trail follows a dry riverbed used to connect various wagon trails through Capitol Reef. It was a very easy 2.25 mile one way through shear cliffs. Quite a nice simple trail.
We hiked to the the end and had lunch. Then began the return. Both ends of the trail warn about flash floods, so of course the return trip had quite a nice thunder storm threaten. It ended up being only a mild sprinkle that cooled us off as we walked.
I found and saved two interesting rocks, very much like one I found yesterday. On the way back we stopped at a rock shop and they were identified as geodes. I have never found one before, and now have three. He said they had a nice blue interior.
