Capitol Reef National Park, contains multicoloured cliffs, narrow canyons, ridges, arches, spires and domes. The 'Reef' refers to the high uplifted ridge running north-south along the fold which presented a considerable barrier to early settlers. The park, the second largest in the state, is much less visited than others in south Utah, partly due to the rather remote location and perhaps because there is no obvious central attraction.
The main road (UT 24) crossing the park east-west gives a flavour of the area. The ten mile scenic road which follows the reef itself, past huge, crumbling, multicoloured cliffs with magnificent scenery in all directions.
