Left Moab at 10:30 AM for the Mesa Arch detour in Canyonlands, then west past the Capitol Reef petroglyphs to a full-hookup night at Thousand Lakes RV Park in Torrey.

Out of the way, about 22 miles each direction, but when are we back up this way? 0.6-mi paved loop to the most photographed frame in the canyon. Mid-day light this time instead of the classic sunrise glow.

Free RAN charge before the long, charger-less run down UT-24 toward Capitol Reef. The charger errored out at 79 kWh, so we plugged back in for a second session to finish the fill.

The Fremont petroglyph panels on a boardwalk just off UT-24 east of the visitor center, bighorn sheep and human figures pecked into the desert-varnished cliff a thousand years ago.
Day 27Wind-blasted but grinning at the viewpoint, the last easy stop before the climb to Torrey.
Towing segments this day
The charge-to-charge data, leg by leg.
Every towing leg logged today off the Rivian dashboard, with its elevation
profile. Open one for the full per-segment data: efficiency, energy, grade,
wind, temperature, and battery state of charge.
Free RAN on East Main Street, the last fast charge before Capitol Reef (UT-24 west through Hanksville has none). The session errored out mid-charge, so the fill came in two sessions. The Tesla Supercharger across town stays the paid backup.
Campground 50A (full hookups)
Thousand Lakes RV Park 50A (overnight)
Overnight refill on the campground 50A, the only charge in Torrey. Wake up full for whatever tomorrow becomes.
