Capitol Reef National Park, UT
Capitol Reef National Park comprises 378 square miles of colorful canyons, ridges, buttes, and monoliths.
Your guide will fill you in on the rich history and the ancient people of this spectacular National Park.
About 75 miles of the long up-thrust called the Waterpocket Fold, extending like a rugged spine from Thousand Lake Plateau southward to Lake Powell, is preserved within the park boundary. Capitol Reef is the name of an especially rugged and spectacular part of the Waterpocket Fold near the Fremont River.
