Often overlooked for other famous national park in Utah, Capitol Reef is hidden gem that is worthy of a visit. You'll find a landscape of dramatic folds, towering cliffs, twisting canyons, and quiet desert solitude. The park protects over 240,000 acres filled with slickrock domes, natural arches, and layered sandstone badlands. Explore the historic Fruita orchards, hike through colorful canyon trails like Hickman Bridge or Capitol Gorge, or head farther into Cathedral Valley or Halls Creek Narrows for remote wilderness. With clear night skies, a diverse array of plant and animal life, and sweeping vistas at every turn, Capitol Reef is a gem for both adventurers and those seeking more peaceful escape than is available at the more well known parks.
