The Capitol Reef Orchards, planted in the pioneer era, remain a popular place for visitors today.
Located in south-central Utah in the heart of red rock country, Capitol Reef National Park is a hidden treasure filled with cliffs, canyons, domes, and bridges in the Waterpocket Fold, a geologic monocline (a wrinkle on the earth) extending almost 100 miles.
Starting October 15, all campsites in Fruita Campground will be reservable year-round, up to six months in advance. Just like during the peak season (March 1- October 31), campsites will be reservable on Recreation.gov for the winter season as well (November 1 to February 28).
The National Park Service (NPS), in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), will begin work on an approximately $12 million project to rehabilitate Scenic Drive and multiple parking lots in Capitol Reef National Park.
