Introduksjon

Capitol Reef nasjonalpark ligger i Utah og dekker et område på 978 kvadratkilometer. Parken er kjent for sine unike geologiske trekk, inkludert Waterpocket Fold, en lang monoklin som skaper dramatiske landskap. Besøkende kommer for å utforske kløftene, ryggen og høydene, samt for å lære om områdets rike kulturhistorie.

Parkens navn reflekterer de runde sandsteinsformasjonene som ligner på kupler og klippene som fungerer som barrierer for reise. Området tilbyr ulike utendørsaktiviteter, inkludert fotturer og frukthøsting i frukthagene langs Highway 24, noe som gjør det til et reisemål for naturentusiaster og familier.
