WALK SUMMARY

Capitol Reef in Utah must be one of the world's thinnest national parks, a very long slice of heavily eroded sandstone along the narrow, in places wildly broken, Waterpocket Fold.

If in the Fruita area, but don’t have time for the longer walks, treat yourself to the hour or so up a lovely low canyon to the spectacular Hickman rock bridge. Enjoy fine views from the nearby ridge.

Please send us any thoughts and photos you have.

See our Capitol Reef  page for more general and practical information and photos.
