1

Capitol Reef National Park

As the audio guides play commentary based on your gps location, you can create your own itinerary along the tour route(s) to match your interests and schedule. Or you can use our trip planners for our suggestions on half, full or multi day itineraries. Some of the many highlights are listed below;

2

Capitol Gorge Trail

Located at the end of the Scenic Drive, this 2.5 mile extension carries us through a steep-walled canyon, and also a journey through many millions of years of geological time. We will witness rock from times when this landscape alternated from ancient equatorial river plains, but also the planet's largest sand dune desert. At the end or the drive, an easy 1 mile return hike into the gorge is highly recommended. Note: The size restriction on the Gorge Road is 27 feet. Trailers have a location to detach before driving the spur road. Though the road is unpaved, it is well-maintained and suitable for regular vehicles.

3

Fruita Schoolhouse

An easy highway pullout provides us with a quick and simple stop for a terrific photo of the century old schoolhouse - all one room of it. Complementary to the Schoolhouse and located a little further along the highway is another terrific example of the those earliest pioneers building - the Behunin family cabin.

4

Fruita

Archeologists have found evidence of Native American cultures that occupied the Capitol Reef area for thousands of years. In the late 1800s, hardy and industrious Mormon settlers decided they could create a community cultivating fruit orchards, especially apples, but irrigating using ditches to draw water from the Fremont River. At its peak, Fruita was home for 10 families and is situated at the beginning of the Scenic Drive road. Today we can explore the few remaining, but preserved buildings and if we are there during fruit season, we are allowed to pick fruit to enjoy right from the trees.

5

Goosenecks Overlook

For most of our visit, we will marvel at the rock layers and shapes of cliffs that rise around us. The Goosenecks viewpoint provides a different perspective where we can peer down into a steep and deep canyon. The oldest rock in the park has been exposed by the creek below. A short walk from Goosenecks takes us to the best sunset location that is easily accessible close to the main highway - but far enough way to enjoy the peacefulness.

6

Grand Wash Road

A short unpaved spur road located midway along the Scenic Drive, Grand Wash gets us intimately close with the rock layers, which in places look like Swiss cheese. This canyon was once the hiding place for famous outlaws and you'll understand why it was a great place to stay out of the hands of those unwanted lawmen. Note: The size restriction on the Gorge Road is 27 feet. Though the road is unpaved, it is well-maintained and suitable for regular vehicles.

7

Grand Wash Trail

Two excellent hikes are available from the end of the Grand Wash Spur Road. The first is a fairly strenuous climb to elevated locations where a view of Cassidy Arch can be enjoyed - as well as views across the valley. The much easier option, and arguably the best short hike in the park is to follow the Grand Wash Trail. This is a fairly easy introduction to slot canyoning, and at its most amazing point, has 800 foot walls rising above you where the canyon is only 15 feet wide. Do not hike this trail if rain is forecast or skies are threatening as flash flooding can be a genuine risk.

8

Fremont Petroglyphs

From a very convenient highway parking area, it's a not-to-be-missed stop to view the incredible petroglyph panels from an easy boardwalk. Archeological evidence has revealed much about the Fremont Culture people, the name we have given as they inhabited sites along the reliable Fremont River.

9

Scenic Drive

For just an 8 mile drive, this really packs a punch with many spectacular views and amazing layered rock formations. It is the true highlight of Capitol Reef as we experience the Waterpocket Fold, up close and personal. The official Scenic Drive is paved, and has two short spur roads that detour just short distances. Expect to spend a couple of hours enjoying sightseeing along the drive. Add more time if like taking a hike or two.

Parc national du récif Capitol

Au fur et à mesure que les audioguides diffusent des commentaires en fonction de votre position GPS, vous pouvez créer votre propre itinéraire le long du ou des itinéraires de la visite en fonction de vos intérêts et de votre emploi du temps. Ou vous pouvez utiliser nos planificateurs de voyage pour nos suggestions d'itinéraires d'une demi-journée, d'une journée complète ou de plusieurs jours. Certains des nombreux faits saillants sont énumérés ci-dessous;

20

Sentier des gorges du Capitole

Située au bout de la Scenic Drive, cette extension de 2,5 miles nous transporte à travers un canyon aux parois abruptes, ainsi qu'un voyage à travers plusieurs millions d'années de temps géologique. Nous verrons la roche de l'époque où ce paysage alternait d'anciennes plaines fluviales équatoriales, mais aussi le plus grand désert de dunes de sable de la planète. À la fin ou en voiture, une randonnée aller-retour facile d'un kilomètre dans la gorge est fortement recommandée. Remarque : la limite de taille sur Gorge Road est de 27 pieds. Les remorques ont un emplacement pour se détacher avant de conduire sur l'embranchement. Bien que la route ne soit pas goudronnée, elle est bien entretenue et adaptée aux véhicules ordinaires.

21

École Fruita

Un retrait facile de l'autoroute nous offre un arrêt rapide et simple pour une superbe photo de l'école centenaire - dans une seule pièce. Complémentaire à l'école et située un peu plus loin le long de l'autoroute se trouve un autre exemple formidable de la construction de ces premiers pionniers - la cabane de la famille Behunin.

22

Fruité

Les archéologues ont trouvé des preuves de cultures amérindiennes qui occupaient la région de Capitol Reef depuis des milliers d'années. À la fin des années 1800, des colons mormons robustes et industrieux ont décidé de créer une communauté cultivant des vergers, en particulier des pommes, mais irriguant à l'aide de fossés pour puiser l'eau de la rivière Fremont. À son apogée, Fruita abritait 10 familles et est située au début de la route Scenic Drive. Aujourd'hui, nous pouvons explorer les quelques bâtiments restants mais préservés et si nous y sommes pendant la saison des fruits, nous sommes autorisés à cueillir des fruits à déguster directement sur les arbres.

23

Vue sur les cols de cygne

Pendant la majeure partie de notre visite, nous nous émerveillerons devant les couches rocheuses et les formes des falaises qui s'élèvent autour de nous. Le point de vue de Goosenecks offre une perspective différente où nous pouvons admirer un canyon escarpé et profond. La roche la plus ancienne du parc a été exposée près du ruisseau en contrebas. Une courte promenade de Goosenecks nous emmène au meilleur endroit pour le coucher du soleil, facilement accessible à proximité de l'autoroute principale - mais suffisamment loin pour profiter du calme.

24

Grand Wash Road

Une courte route secondaire non pavée située à mi-chemin le long de la route panoramique, Grand Wash nous rapproche intimement des couches rocheuses, qui par endroits ressemblent à du fromage suisse. Ce canyon était autrefois la cachette de célèbres hors-la-loi et vous comprendrez pourquoi c'était un endroit idéal pour rester hors des mains de ces hommes de loi indésirables. Remarque : la limite de taille sur Gorge Road est de 27 pieds. Bien que la route ne soit pas goudronnée, elle est bien entretenue et adaptée aux véhicules ordinaires.

25

Sentier Grand Wash

Deux excellentes randonnées sont disponibles à partir de la fin de la Grand Wash Spur Road. La première est une montée assez ardue vers des endroits surélevés d'où l'on peut admirer la vue sur Cassidy Arch - ainsi que sur la vallée. L'option la plus simple, et sans doute la meilleure courte randonnée dans le parc, est de suivre le Grand Wash Trail. Il s'agit d'une introduction assez facile au canyoning à sous et, à son point le plus étonnant, des murs de 800 pieds s'élèvent au-dessus de vous, là où le canyon ne mesure que 15 pieds de large. Ne parcourez pas ce sentier si de la pluie est prévue ou si le ciel menace, car les inondations soudaines peuvent constituer un risque réel.

26

Pétroglyphes de Fremont

Depuis un parking très pratique sur l'autoroute, c'est un arrêt à ne pas manquer pour voir les incroyables panneaux de pétroglyphes depuis une promenade facile. Les preuves archéologiques ont révélé beaucoup de choses sur les gens de la culture Fremont, le nom que nous avons donné car ils habitaient des sites le long de la rivière Fremont fiable.

27

Route panoramique

Pour seulement 8 miles de route, cela a vraiment du punch avec de nombreuses vues spectaculaires et d'étonnantes formations rocheuses en couches. C'est le véritable point culminant de Capitol Reef alors que nous découvrons le Waterpocket Fold, de près et personnel. La route officielle Scenic Drive est pavée et comporte deux petites routes secondaires qui dévient sur de courtes distances. Attendez-vous à passer quelques heures à faire du tourisme le long du trajet. Ajoutez plus de temps si vous aimez faire une randonnée ou deux.
