The Capitol Reef Campground is located within some old fruit orchards. These are apricots. Our trailer is visible in the background. The irrigated green swath of the orchard is a refreshing contrast to the surrounding desert. Most years the trees bear more fruit than folks want to pick, but this year a spring frost nipped the buds and there will be few if any apricots.

Joanie next to glass mountain. Well it turned out to not be a mountain, more of a twenty foot high mound, actually. And, no, it's not glass, it's actually gypsum crystals. Still worth a look.
