Trail Note
A small story before the keepsake
Capitol Reef National Park starts as a place to locate, imagine, visit, and remember. When the trip is over, the keepsake gives that memory a small place to stay visible at home.
What makes this park feel different
Located in south-central Utah, Capitol Reef National Park is often overshadowed by its more famous neighbors like Zion and Bryce Canyon. However, it's a spectacular destination in its own right, featuring cliffs, canyons, domes, and bridges in a striking desert landscape. The park gets its name from the white domes of Navajo Sandstone that resemble capitol building domes, and the rocky ridges that present barriers to travel, much like a coral reef.
A route worth keeping
Hike the Hickman Bridge Trail Hike to Cassidy Arch Drive through Cathedral Valley Drive through the 16-mile round-trip Scenic Drive Get homemade pies at the historic Gifford Homestead See the orchards at Fruita Rural Historic District Visit the Fremont Petroglyphs
It works before the visit as a little spark of curiosity, and after the trip as a familiar marker on the fridge, board, or travel wall.
