What To Expect

Capitol Reef National Park

Join us for a drive through Capitol Reefs back country to a scenic paradise of desert landscapes in our luxury 4X4 vehicle through cathedrals, temples, buttes and hoodoos that will get you away from most all of the park’s visitors. We’ll ford the Fremont River and drive over the Bentonite Hills, stop at the South Desert Overlook and see Jailhouse Rock, talk about the geology and history of the area, stop at viewpoints along the way, visit the iconic Temples of the Sun and Moon, see geological oddities such as Glass Mountain, Gypsum Sinkhole and ancient lava flows. This trip has tons of photographic opportunities and is missed by most visitors to Capitol Reef due to its remote location and often times challenging roads.Lunches or an Outdoor Cookout and Dinners can be arranged.

Excellent tour with jason. My wife and i had an amazing day touring with jason around capital reef. We saw cathedral valley, Indian rock art panels, the highlights of the area and more. we enjoyed his story's and the history lessons of the area. The vehicle we rode in was air conditioned and very comfortable to ride in. i must point our, even if we had rented a 4x4 jeep i dont think i would have been comfortable driving it to the places we went to. thanks jason!!! I also booked a 2nd night tour to photo the hickmen bridge with the moon in it. (this is one of my favorite pictures from the trip) jason had everything we needed to go including head lamps and camera settings. i would not hesitate to book another tour with waterpocket adventure company. next time i am in the area.

Jason of Waterpocket Adventures is an excellent outdoor guide with an expert knowledge of the geology and history of the region. The recent rains in the area limited off road access to the average enthusiast but Jason’s in depth knowledge of the area allowed him to safely deliver us to the valley with views of the fold, Temple of the Sun and Moon, As well as the glass mountain! We will plan a return trip next year to explore more if the region with Jason!

Amazing experience! Only addition would be the full tour and Goblins if time allowed. Our itinerary only allowed a half cathedral valley tour with our children: 15,16, & 6. We loved it. Magical and fun. We saw dinosaur bones and all the highlights. Great tour and very memorable. We drove through a river and were completely alone except one other vehicle. So special. Thank you for such a great tour.
