Torrey, Utah

Chelsea and I spent the night of the 18th with Christopher, a friend of a friend, in Torrey, UT. Torrey is located in southern Utah just outside of Capitol Reef National Park. Christopher and some friends of his are working to create a self sustaining farm equipped with several greenhouses an orchard, and a chicken coop. We had a fantastic meal made from their produce. Christopher also took us into Capitol Reef to go stargazing and, in the morning, hiking through the Grand Wash. The Grand Wash is a canyon that has been used for more than a century as the only thoroughfare to... the other side? Anyway, you can read the names (and see the pockmarks from bullets) of pioneers carved into the cliff walls as early as 1812. Petroglyphs can also be seen from the Freemont Indians.

Thanks Christopher and friends for opening your home to us!
