May 15, 2018 by Susan Clarke
- Today’s Treat…Off Road Adventure in a brand new jeep with driver…
…into the depths of the park experiencing breathtaking Cathedral Valley…
…with its massive monoliths Temple of the Sun & Temple of the Moon standing 400 to 500 feet high…
…& Gypsum Sinkhole… 200-foot deep & 50 feet in diameter.
…& The Castle…an incredible craggy sandstone formation…
…& 7 hours later happy to have a nice cold beer…on solid ground!
FUN-fact – The park is named for the white domes and cliffs resembling the United States Capitol building, and for the nearly impassable ‘barrier reef’ cliffs that early explorers encountered.
