Comments about ‘Orchards at Capitol Reef are unexpected surprise’

I remember as a young girl going to Fruita with my family to pick fruit. There were no paved roads then and when we got there we were covered with red dust. It's a beautiful little stop in the road. It is an awesome sight, it's so beautiful. My husband's great-grandfather's cabin is just a little ways down the new paved road.
It's a step back into time for me. The people of Wayne County are so nice and friendly. A truely wonderful place to visit.

I agree, Fruita is a beautiful and magical place. It's funny that we are greatful for such a gem today that was planted over 100 years ago, but that this same act cannot be replecated today somewhere else for others to enjoy 100 years from now. Humans and nature can co-exist. Fruit is a good example of this. Good article.
