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.
Capitol Reef National Park is excited to announce the 'Reef Ride' bike event, set to take place on the mornings of September 27th and 28th, in celebration of the newly repaved Scenic Drive and National Public Lands Day. During this special event, the Scenic Drive will be closed to vehicle traffic and open to cyclists, including Class 1, 2, and 3 e-bikes, as well as hikers and runners.
