Fruita Orchards, Capitol Reef National Park, Torrey UT, April 20, 2011
Fruita orchards
The 2,000 trees in the old orchards in Fruita are in pretty good shape, bearing apricots, apples, plums, etc available to the public in season. The campground is set amidst the orchards, horses are in the paddocks. Cool.
