The Toyota Mutiny...


Oh, all right--the rain last evening was good for something.

As for the Toyota, I could have sworn she screamed as I turned toward the river ford; she knew what that meant. Hours of punishment on that road. I'll give a medal l to somebody at Toyota if I can find the right person.

In any event, the sun was brilliant when we got to the massive monoliths in northern cathedral Valley. These structures stand several hundred feet in height, and nearly rival those of Monument Valley.

You can drive close to them--but then you have to back up because they overwhelm most lenses.

Cathedral valley itself is vast, and surrounded on all sides by sandstone formations.


Below, two couples were climbing to that crevice as I was shooting the scene. You can see by the size of their car that these walls lining Cathedral Valley are colossal--as is everything about Capitol Reef!

More thrills and spills tomorrow--if the Toyota puts up with it all...
