On a dirt road, I left Torrey early morning. First, I visited Capitol Reef National Park and then I drove southwards to Lake Powell. The dirt road "Notom-Bullfrog" is along the Waterpocket Fold, a 100 mile 'opening of the earth' revealing magnificent rocks in all colors. Just beautiful! At Bullfrog, I went on a ferry carrying me over Lake Powell. Further, my path led to direction Monument Valley. I stayed at Mexican Hat, a tiny village close to the border of Arizona.

Auf einer Naturstrasse verliess ich Torrey frueh am morgen  zum Capitol Reef Nationalpark. Danach suedlich Richtung Lake Powell. Die staubige Strasse 'Notom-Bullfrog" verlaeuft entlang dem 'Waterpocket Fold', eine 160km Erdfalte, die sich vor 65 Mio. Jahren geoeffnet hatte. Zum Vorschein kammen einzigartige Felsformen in allen Farben. Einfach schoen! In Bullfrog nahm ich die Faehre ueber den Lake Powell, um in Richtung Monument Valley zu fahren. Uebernachtet habe ich in Mexican Hat, einem kleinen Dorf nahe der Grenze zu Arizona.
