We drove from Dukes campground through the Capitol Reef canyon (not enough time to stop other than a panoramic view stop) to Fishlake. What a magical place of Aspen and alpine lake. It was so charming, we got our paddle boards out and went in the lake for the evening. We stayed over night at Dr. Creek Campground right at the lake and in between aspens for $15. We even got to do a camp fire. The pictures don’t do this place justice – it was absolutely magical!

Today’s lesson: Robert Frost had it right: “I doubted if I should ever come back. I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.” We went to Fishlake on a whim and it almost turned around because it was so far off the beaten track – we are so glad we pushed on!
