Beautiful piece to walk.

The Anasazi State Park Museum preserves the ruins of an ancient Ancestral Puebloan village once home to nearly 200 people. You can explore a life-sized replica of a six-room pueblo and walk among partially excavated structures dating back to A.D. 1050–1200. The museum showcases over 1,000 artifacts that paint a picture of the daily life and craftsmanship of the Anasazi people.

A beautiful paved road that climbs up from the desert & over Boulder mountain. 🏔️

You drive through gigantic birch forests and finally, at 2896 m, you have an overwhelming view of the plain shining in all colors.

This green, shaded picnic area really stands out in contrast to the red-rock landscape around you. Consider picking up a pie from the nearby Gifford House to enjoy before (or after) you head out on an adventure.

This is where the routes to explore Capitol Reef Park start.

You have options from this point, but meeting the paved and popular Capital Reef Scenic Drive here also puts you very close to Cassity Arch (pictured), Egyptian Temple, and Golden Throne Trail.

The campground itself could be your base for longer than day-ride exploration of the area, or you can simply use its parking and water (though it's always recommended to come with plenty of extra water in case of contingencies like a campground tap being unavailable).
