Hiking Adventures at Capitol Reef & Escalante

OUTDOORS WITH JESUS CAMPOUT 

CAPITOL REEF

Wonderful Memorial weekend camping on Boulder Mountain. God showed us how to enjoy both rainy and sunny days. It was a weekend of exploration, campfires, camp barbecues, fine dining in Torrey, fellowship, and a time to be with Jesus in prayer and Bible study.
