Capitol Reef National Park
	A sheer cliff wall towers above one of the many orchards in Fruita. The area was settled by Mormon pioneers in the late 1800’s, who established many orchards primarily of apples, apricots, cherries, peaches and pears. Today, they are tended to by the park service, and visitors are encouraged to eat as much as they like while visiting. I was happy to find many delicious varieties of apples and pears ready for my picking.
