If you've been following me and my posts over time, you probably know how often I visit the Capitol Reef area. With my in-laws now living in Torrey and my wife being a great-great-granddaughter of the man considered to be the father of Capitol Reef National Park,
Ephraim Pectol, I've essentially married into the park. With the many visits over the years, I've been trying to get familiar with as much of the park as reasonably possible. Halls Creek and its narrows had been looming for a long time. Thinking it might well be the best of the park, at least subjectively, I had been saving it for last, with some meager plan to progress southward through the park. Alas, after reviewing some older and newer trip reports by others on a forum I frequently participate in, I couldn't resist any longer and took the opportunity to make a trip to it sooner.
