Capitol Reef NP: Hotel and Torrey

We stay at Days Inn at Torrey, which is a few miles from the Capitol Reef National Park, junction of highway 12 and 24. . The service and equipment are good, and the "continent breakfast" is real excellent, with fresh fruits, and you may make waffle by yourself. Their swimming pool also maintained very well.


This is Torrey town... 1 mile from our Days Inn. We eat our dinner at a Burger and Fish Chip restaurant there, tasted good.


This is back yard of Days Inn at Torrey...

A Cute Country Store in Loa Utah

We by passed this store several times before I hear a introduction about this store on the KSL radio this year. So I decide to stop there. Their fresh jerky, curd cheese and a Jackson Hole brand soft drink are really impressively good! We also like their ice cream... We will come back later... (by the State Route 24 near LOA)


They are Mountain Mill Doors, Inc. too...


We saw the inside...
