Capitol Reef National Park, Utah

A long, narrow stripe of varying color lies in the south-central area of Utah. Seventy-five miles from its northern to its southern end, Capitol Reef National Park is a mixture of sandstone cliffs and eroded formations with pockets of green orchards. Open year round, Capital Reef National Park can be found eleven miles east of Torrey, Utah or thirty-seven miles west of Hanksville, Utah.

The Park contains several hiking trails and a twenty-five mile Scenic Drive. Other areas of the Park are accessible via dirt roads. Capitol Reef also contains three campgrounds. Hikers, rock climbers, equestrians, and mountain bikers are drawn to Capitol Reef National Park to explore the solitude of this vast, wild frontier.
