Capitol Reef National Park , Capitol Reef National Park

One of the big national parks in UT. We visited during Thanksgiving time. The weather was good- neither hot, nor snowy, obviously cold, but not to an extreme level. There are many hiking trails for all levels. We could manage to hike the Hickman bridge trail. It was a moderate one. The park was not too crowded, neither empty too. There are many scenic drive through. All together it’s a picturesque landscape of rocky desert like red canyons. I would go back again. The sleepy town has a few resorts and hotels. The night sky is gorgeous. Overall, this is great if you love nature and secluded canyons.

Amazing national park and trails. There are accessible trails and trails for all levels. So many cool views and there aren’t a ton of people. The visitor station is nice and has clean bathrooms and there are a lot of things you can detour and see. The rocks here are really interesting.

We hit Utah's big 5 national park and we loved this park! Not crowded and plenty of incredible views and hikes! If you are in a 4x4 go to the end of the main road and take the Pleasant Creek Rd as far as you want. If in a car or 4x4 drive down the other road that's at the end of the main road. It's a narrow canyon that's like hiking but you're in your car! Very cool!

This National Park is gorgeous. I think it is the hidden gem of the 5 national parks in Utah. See the petroglyphs, they are absolutely amazing. The Grand Wash Basin hike was a lot of fun. Be sure to stop and have a picnic, they have one of the most relaxing areas I have ever been too.

Beautiful National Park with a very nicely maintained 20 mile scenic drive. Lots of turn-outs for awesome views and picture taking. Interesting geology and history throughout. Be sure to stop at the Gifford House Museum and grab some homemade cinnamon roles, strawberry-rhubarb pie and ice cream!
