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.

Национальный парк Кэпитол-Риф
Поскольку аудиогиды воспроизводят комментарии в зависимости от вашего местоположения GPS, вы можете создать свой собственный маршрут по маршруту (маршрутам) тура, который соответствует вашим интересам и расписанию. Или вы можете воспользоваться нашими планировщиками поездок, чтобы получить предложения по полудневным, полным или многодневным маршрутам. Некоторые из многих основных моментов перечислены ниже;
20
Тропа Капитолийского ущелья
Расположенный в конце Scenic Drive, этот участок протяженностью 2,5 мили ведет нас через каньон с крутыми стенами, а также через многие миллионы лет геологического времени. Мы увидим горные породы тех времен, когда этот ландшафт чередовался с древними экваториальными речными равнинами, а также с крупнейшей на планете пустыней с песчаными дюнами. В конце или по дороге настоятельно рекомендуется легкий обратный поход в 1 милю в ущелье. Примечание. Ограничение по размеру на Gorge Road составляет 27 футов. У прицепов есть место для отсоединения перед движением по подъездной дороге. Хотя дорога грунтовая, она находится в хорошем состоянии и подходит для обычных транспортных средств.
21
Школа Фрукты
Легкий выезд на шоссе дает нам быструю и простую остановку, чтобы сделать потрясающую фотографию школьного здания столетней давности - всего в одной комнате. В дополнение к Школьному дому, расположенному чуть дальше вдоль шоссе, находится еще один потрясающий пример постройки первых пионеров — семейная хижина Бехуниных.
22
Фрукта
Археологи нашли свидетельства существования индейских культур, населявших район Капитолийского рифа на протяжении тысячелетий. В конце 1800-х выносливые и трудолюбивые поселенцы-мормоны решили, что они могут создать сообщество, выращивающее фруктовые сады, особенно яблоки, но орошая их с помощью канав для забора воды из реки Фремонт. На пике своего развития Fruita был домом для 10 семей и расположен в начале дороги Scenic Drive. Сегодня мы можем исследовать несколько оставшихся, но сохранившихся зданий, и если мы будем там во время фруктового сезона, нам разрешат собирать фрукты, чтобы насладиться ими прямо с деревьев.
23
Гусиные шеи с видом
Большую часть нашего визита мы будем восхищаться слоями горных пород и формами утесов, которые возвышаются вокруг нас. Смотровая площадка Goosenecks предлагает другую перспективу, с которой мы можем заглянуть в крутой и глубокий каньон. Самая старая скала в парке была обнажена ручьем внизу. Короткая прогулка от Гусиных шеек приведет нас к лучшему месту для заката, до которого легко добраться недалеко от главной дороги, но достаточно далеко, чтобы насладиться спокойствием.
24
Гранд Уош Роуд
Короткая грунтовая подъездная дорога, расположенная на полпути вдоль живописной дороги, Гранд Уош позволяет нам близко познакомиться со слоями горных пород, которые местами выглядят как швейцарский сыр. Этот каньон когда-то был убежищем для известных преступников, и вы поймете, почему это было отличное место, чтобы не попасть в руки этих нежелательных стражей порядка. Примечание. Ограничение по размеру на Gorge Road составляет 27 футов. Хотя дорога грунтовая, она находится в хорошем состоянии и подходит для обычных транспортных средств.
25
Тропа Гранд-Уош
Два отличных похода доступны от конца Гранд-Уош-Спер-роуд. Первый - это довольно напряженный подъем на возвышенности, откуда открывается вид на арку Кэссиди, а также на долину. Гораздо более простой вариант и, возможно, лучшая короткая прогулка по парку — пройти по тропе Гранд-Уош. Это довольно простое введение в щелевой каньонинг, и в самом удивительном месте над вами возвышаются стены высотой 800 футов, а ширина каньона всего 15 футов. Не ходите по этой тропе, если прогнозируется дождь или небо угрожает, так как внезапные наводнения могут представлять реальную опасность.
26
Петроглифы Фремонта
С очень удобной стоянки на шоссе это остановка, которую нельзя пропустить, чтобы увидеть невероятные панели петроглифов с легкой дощатой дорожки. Археологические данные многое рассказали о людях культуры Фремонта, название, которое мы дали, поскольку они населяли участки вдоль надежной реки Фремонт.
27
Живописный драйв
Всего за 8 миль езды это действительно поражает множеством захватывающих видов и удивительных слоистых скальных образований. Это настоящая изюминка Капитолийского рифа, поскольку мы видим Уотерпокет-Фолд, близко и лично. Официальная Scenic Drive заасфальтирована и имеет две короткие подъездные дороги, которые обходят только короткие расстояния. Ожидайте провести пару часов, наслаждаясь осмотром достопримечательностей по дороге. Добавьте больше времени, если хотите совершить поход или два.

No where on the website for this experience was it noted that the scenic road was closed for construction. This experience should not have even been available for purchase. It was useless. The construction has been going on since the beginning of summer so should have been well known.

Billigbeth, I'm sorry to hear about the inconvenience. Our website does mention the construction, but the good news is that the tour you purchased is valid forever, so you can use it once the scenic road reopens. Feel free to email us if you'd prefer, and we can replace your tour with another one of our self-guided audio tours. Let us know if you have any further questions!

Hi Judy, thank you for taking the time to share how much you enjoyed our audio tour of Capitol Reef National Park. This one surely is included in the Utah Mighty 5 for a reason and we're so glad that you found it as incredible as do we - along with the helpful information from our audio tour. We hope to join you on the road again soon.
