Capitol Reef NP Scenic Drive

Description

The 8-mile Capitol Reef Scenic Drive passes through the Waterpocket Fold—a 100-mile-long wrinkle in the earth's crust. The drive passes red canyon walls, balanced rocks, and sweeping desert vistas. A short hike to Grand Wash or Capitol Gorge can extend the adventure into an unforgettable canyon experience.
