Capitol Reef National Park

Capitol Reef is een Amerikaans nationaal park ten zuiden van Salt Lake City dat tot stand kwam in 1971 maar al vanaf 1937 een nationaal monument was. De Fremont River stroomt door het gebied. Centraal in het park ligt het plaatsje Fruita, gesticht door mormonen rond 1880. Oorspronkelijk heette het Junction naar de samenvloeiing van de Fremont River en de Sulphur Creek. Men gaf dit park deze naam omdat een van de heuvels op het Capitool in Washington D.C. gelijkt.

  • Underrated National Park. Believe me it’s worth the visit. Tons of hiking trails and boo docking spots. Don’t forget to visit fruta for fruit pucking when in season and taste their homemaker pies. 😊♥️

  • This is my personal favorite of Utah's National Parks. The beauty of the landscape is unmatched. Cathedral Valley was a highlight of the trip. Unlike many other national parks, we had a lot of privacy. We only passed 1 or 2 other cars during our visit of the Temples of the Sun and Moon. There's many different hiking trails, most of which are relatively easy. I really enjoyed my experience and I'll be back soon!

  • This park is a true gem. Not as popular as Arches or Zion, therefore it is way less crowded. You can hike and explore the canyons without seeing anybody for hours, especially if you can do the more strenuous hikes. There's also an impressive dirt road at the end of the scenic route which feels like driving in the Slot Canyon! Incredibly unique experience! Highly recommend this park.

    The drive to Capitol Reef from Bryce is very scenic! The park and its nearby area is filled with gorgeous red rock and sand mountains. Very cool canyon lookouts and hiking trails. We had tons of fun there! If you’re there, stay in Red Sands Hotel, very cool hotel with gorgeous views all around it!

  • Mostly just drove through Capitol Reef National Park with a couple stops for photos. A very picturesque park and you need a couple days to explore it. However we did not have the time on this trip.

    Capital reef is the most enjoyable national park in Utah, super beautiful views and not as many people as other parks. Everything is spread out and you really have to explore. Tons of activities to do to fulfill your adventure spirit. Been many of times and still find places that I havent visited.

  • It’s an awesome place to Visit. But the only concern is, I am not a hiking lover. It’s hard for me and my family. If you are a person like this, this isn’t a good place for you. You could visit some where else. We just spent a whole lot of time in our car.
