Capitol Reef National Park

Southern Utah

Capitol Reef National Park is one of the less traveled parks in Utah's park filled south. Because of it's close proximity to Arches, Bryce, Zion, Goblin Valley, Canyonlands and others, Capitol Reef sees much less traffic, and therefore doesn't need as much money for maintenance.

The park is free.

The visitor center has an incredible miniature 3-D relief map, very interesting.
