What I saw inside the pie was definitely peaches, but it tasted almost exactly like apple pie. It was good, but not something I'd come back for. The strawberry rhubarb was quite the disappointment. The strawberries seemed like they were not fresh and most likely frozen. They did not taste like they were in season and had an awful tartness that was not enjoyable as all. The cinnamon bun was slightly better than the strawberry rhubarb pie, but it was mostly just dry and hard. If you are going to purchase anything, I'd stick with the peach pie of the three things we purchased. Perhaps the apple pie or cherry pie are better than what we had, but I don't think we'll ever be back to give them a try.

We went end of April and it was not too crowded. We started with Hickman's Bridge trail at 8:30 am after a short stop at the Visitor Center. We stayed at Capitol Reef Resort which gave us a nice handout summarizing the trails as well. For Hickman's Bridge, the small parking lot had a bathroom. It is rated as an easy-moderate trail. The trail was about 250-300 feet up switchbacks and stairs then an easier area before lots of rock scrambling to see the stone arch. Hiking poles were helpful navigating the ascent/descent and rocks until I went on all four's for some areas of tilted, uneven rocks. We almost missed seeing the bridge; we were so intent on trying to find footholds on the rocks and climbing. I think the left side of the loop would have been easier. Even though it is only 0.9 miles with a 400 elevation gain, it took us 1.5 hours round trip at my stopping to breath and carefully climbing/descending the rocks. Capitol Gorge Trail (2.3 miles, 80 ft elevation change) was more my speed being mostly flat and walking on small stones (hiking boots were helpful) through a canyon. (If it is going to rain; beware of flash flooding). The highlight was seeing faint petroglyphs and Mormon pilgrim signatures (from the 1800's) on parts of the rock walls. If you don't like climbing up rocks, I would say skip the optional hike up the mountain to see the water "tanks" or areas in the stone where the water collects. I saw some on the HIckman Trail and never finished that part since my thighs were getting too tired. My husband had difficulty finding the actual trail among the rocks and had to backtrack. The next day, my husband left at 6:45 am to do Navaho Knobs so he could be back by 11 am (we got a late checkout). Driving around the park, you can see the beauty without effort and the number of stunning rock formations and colors was truly something to behold.

There were some nice displays of arrowheads, pottery, statues, mini replicas of dwellings, etc. The gift shop seemed well stocked, and I bought use ancient Utah sea salt (no iodine). It was free entry, and I made a donation. Clean bathroom. No movies. What I got most of out of this visit, that Anasazi is not politically correct anymore. The Navajo who were helping excavate used this term but it means "enemy," so the correct term is "Ancestral Puebloans" or "Pueblo people" (such as the Hopi, Zuni, etc). Outside was a food truck. Nearby was a gas station.

Still the heaviest though and well worth a visit. Pando is a "quaking" or trembling Aspen and is also known as The Trembling Giant. The leaves will tremble collectively, sometimes even without wind - very interesting experience!! (See my video attached to the review). You can find Pando just south of Fish Lake near Richfield Utah. There are some viewing pull-offs on the way in, small parking areas and campgrounds nearby with restrooms and a few hiking trails. Fish Lake is also a great place to explore - the whole area is just gorgeous - Highly recommend!!
