Plan Your Itinerary – or Let Your Plans Unfold
There’s so much to do and see in Capitol Reef National Park that you might want to do some scheduling, but you might also want to simply see where the park leads you. Capital Reef National Park is the kind of place where you can slow down a bit.
Scenic Drives
The Scenic Drive
There are several gorgeous scenic drives in the park, and one of them has the poetic name of The Scenic Drive, which is about 8 miles of paved road that offers impressive views of the park’s glory. Your passenger car can handle this one.
Cathedral Fold
Cathedral Fold is a remote and rugged region that you’ll need high-ground clearance to traverse. This trip will take about 6 to 8 hours, and It affords stunning views and plenty of trailheads along the way. Because this area is so remote, however, it’s critical that you put safety first, which includes bringing plenty of water for everyone in your party and letting someone responsible know where you’re going and when you should arrive back.
Looping the Fold
A unique and primary characteristic of this park is its water pocket fold, which is a vibrantly hued 100-mile fold in the earth’s crust, and the Looping the Fold scenic drive allows you expansive views of the park’s geology at its most spectacular. Again, because the area is so remote, it’s important to plan ahead, make safety your top concern, and watch the weather.
International Dark Sky Parks and Sanctuaries
National parks invest in curtailing light pollution in their beautiful spaces, and Capitol Reef National Park has earned the designation of a Certified Dark Sky Park. In other words, it’s a fabulous spot for world-class stargazing.
Other Outings
Capitol Reef National Park is a great place to slow down with a leisurely stroll or to do some serious hiking through some of the finest slot canyons in a state that is full of them. Other activities that make the area special include:
- Canyoneering
- Secluded hiking
- Exploring the petroglyphs – ancient, engraved etchings on the towering rock walls
