Capitol Reef National Park

Five miles east of Torrey on SR 24, Capitol Reef National Park was named for reeflike cliffs capped by white Navajo sandstone formations that have eroded and now resemble the dome of the U.S. Capitol. The park contains a spectacular section of the Waterpocket Fold. The fold extends some 100 miles southeastward from Thousand Lake Mountain to Lake Powell and graphically illustrates the way the Earth's surface was built, folded and eroded. Numerous eroded basins or "pockets" can hold critical rainwater necessary to maintain desert life--hence the term "waterpocket fold."

Near the visitor center, brightly colored tiered cliffs rise 1,000 feet above the Fremont River. Pre-Columbian Indian petroglyphs can be seen on the surrounding canyon walls. Amid Capitol Reef's red rock are orchards where fruit may be picked in season. Visitors also can see the remains of Fruita, an early Mormon pioneer settlement.
