We stopped by the VC where we saw this bright young lady. We went inside to tell the rangers about the trail being washed out. We learned that Capitol Reef had experienced some flash floods as well and the scenic drive was closed until they could clear the debris. Finally, it was back to Austin's for a couple more beers and some relaxation after a very exciting and tiring adventure. We checked as soon as we arrived, but Austin’s was booked solid for tomorrow night. We called around and finally settled on the Best Western since it was closest to the park and had a pool and hot tub. They had a room for us and we took it ($89/night).
