Capitol Reef National Park and Area |
|
[Grand Staircase] [Bryce] [No. 89] [Cedar Breaks] [Hwy 12] [Southeast] [Arches-Canyonlands] [Green River] [Price] [Ultimate Tour] Utah's Undiscovered Park, Capitol Reef is a large area with just a few roads. The park is quiet and rugged and best of all it is right along the way to whever you might be headed.

Capitol Reef National Park |
||
| Capitol Reef is not as well known but people are discovering it more and more each year. Located at the northeast side of Highway 12, the park is a huge narrow expanse of colorful desert. | ||
Goblin Valley State Park |
||
| My kids favorite playground in southern Utah - this valley is filled with formations that resemble goblins. | ||
Wolverton Mill |
||
| It's a quick stop along the way but this restored and relocated mill demonstrates some pioneer creativity. | ||
Horseshoe Canyon - Canyonlands |
||
| This is a primitive and backcountry trip, so don't try unless you are prepared, but I had to include it because of how much I like the canyon and rock art panels. | ||
Egan Hatchery |
||
| A fish hatchery that is open to the public and located between Loa and Bicknell. If you have time, stop off and enjoy the fish. | ||
Chappell Cheese |
||
| Located on a hill along the main road into Loa is this family cheese business. I make a stop everytime I drive by and pick up some treats right from the source. | ||

| Right on the main street in Torrey, this gallery not only shows off fine works, it also creates brass statues. | ||
