Cliffs, canyons, domes and bridges make this park a geological wonder well-worth exploring.

Capitol Reef is a hiker’s dream with no shortage of trails. From day hiking to backcountry hiking, the area rewards any and all efforts to get out and explore nature. The park rewards visitors with large sandstone domes, pillars, waterfalls and mysterious petroglyphs.

If you come during the late summer, early fall, you can pick your own fruit from orchards planted by early Mormon settlers, while exploring the historical inscriptions and structures they left behind.
