CAPITOL REEF NATIONAL PARK STUNNING SCENIC DRIVE AND CAPITOL GORGE ROAD

Capitol Reef National Park in Utah is one of our favorite national parks. The Capitol Reef National Park Scenic Drive is stunning with the rugged beauty of the canyons, ridges and buttes. We drove our Toyota 4Runner through Capitol Gorge Road, which is a 2 1/4 mile dirt road at the end of the scenic drive, that twists and turns through the narrow canyon of Windgate Sandstone. The Fruita Historic District has wonderful heirloom orchards with cherries, apricots, peaches, pears and apples that you can pick when in season. The Freemont River runs through the Historic District and supplies water to the orchards. Capitol Reef National Park also has a great picnic area and 71 site campground.

We have upcoming videos on the Loop The Fold Driving Tour and The Burr Trail Switchbacks, as well as the Cathedral Valley Loop at Capitol Reef.

This is the fifth video in the series of our summer 2020 road trip adventures.
