Capitol Reef National Park

For instance, many travelers see Utah’s Bryce Canyon and Zion National Parks, then take larger and more direct thoroughfares to Capitol Reef National Park.

Capitol Reef National Park has nearly 20 orchards totaling dozens of acres across the Fruita historic district, a 19th-century Latter-day Saint pioneer homestead in the center of the park, the Spectrum newspaper reported.

Officials at Arches National Park said they had the busiest fall on record, and even Capitol Reef National Park broke it’s September record.

Capitol Reef National Park remains the last of Utah’s five national parks still open, but the park’s scenic drive and campgrounds are closed.

Under its previous designation, Grand Staircase-Escalante was contiguous with Bryce Canyon National Park on its west side, Capitol Reef National Park along its northeastern border and Glen Canyon National Recreation Area at its southeastern edge.
