Here you can visit the museum as well as queue up to buy cakes. These are filled with local fruit and are delicious. There are also picnic tables outside so you can eat some of the delicacies straight away.

Hiking

Fruita is the historic heart of Capitol Reef National Park, an oasis of orchards and preserved buildings from the late 19th-century pioneers who settled here. Once a thriving community, Fruita is now a protected historic district. Visitors can also tour the historic one-room schoolhouse and the Gifford Homestead, which offers cake and ice cream, and learn about the history of this unique landscape.
