GoPro Hike on Cohab Canyon Trail- Capitol Reef National Park
Join me for a hike up the Cohab Canyon Trail to the Fruita Overlook in Capital Reef National Park, Utah. The hike starts with a steep series of switchbacks that gains 320 vertical feet in 1/4 mile. At the top, we enter Cohab Canyon, which is largely hidden from view at the base of the trail. Through the Canyon, you can take a trail up to an overlook that provides great views of the valley below.
CAPITOL REEF National Park - Fruita campground, Capitol Gorge + Cohab Canyon Trail
We just knew we HAD to stop by Capitol Reef on our 2017 road trip!
Was it worth it?
Absolutely!
- Camping at the peaceful Fruita Campground. (***Read below.)
- Historic settlements.
- Massive petroglyph panel.
- Exploring canyons and slot canyons with our kids - CAPITOL GORGE and COHAB CANYON (our absolute favorite!!!).
- One of the best places in the US for star gazing.
- Spectacular scenic drives and hikes.
- Not as crowded as other national parks.
We had a great time in Capitol Reef!
***CORRECTION: As of early 2018, FRUITA CAMPGROUND is NO LONGER on a first-come first-serve basis (which was the case in 2017 when we stayed here). The park has since moved to a reservation system, and as of right now, campsites can be reserved ahead of time from March through October.

Capitol Reef National Park | Hiking Grand Wash & Cassidy Arch Trails
In this video I continue my journey through Southern Utah as I explore Capitol Reef National Park. I finally get a reprieve from the rain and get to hike the park on an absolutely gorgeous day. I begin my hike on the Grand Wash trail which takes me through some narrow canyons until it meets up with the Cassidy Arch Trail. I continue on the Cassidy Arch trail which ascends steeply and arrives at a beautiful natural arch.It is my first time visiting Capitol Reef National Park.

Cassidy Arch & Grand Wash Trails in Capitol Reef National Park
April 2016 trip to Utah's Capitol Reef National Park with a hike up to Cassidy Arch and then down through the Grand Wash to the Narrows.
A Slot Canyon Along the Cohab Trail - Capitol Reef National Park
Na Gah Slot Canyon | Capitol Reef NP Utah
Na Gah Canyon - Weird Name, Great Canyon. This was a fun afternoon romp through a great little canyon. Took us only a few hrs to knock out. It is a bit of a walk around to get into this canyon, but not bad. There was an accident earlier this year on the hike in route where rain storms loosened rock and dirt and dislodged a large boulder as a group was traversing over it. This resulted in a SAR call and medical emergency, but the one victim that was injured was/will be OK.
There are three mandatory rappels in this canyon. All bolted as is almost standard protocol in the National Parks. Capitol Reef isn't getting as much pressure as many of the other National Parks like Arches and Zion, but it is starting to pick up. We opted for a fun Non-Mandatory rappel off a tree in order to avoid a ledge walk around. This also added a little more to the canyon.
The big final rappel in this canyon is epic and spectacular. It's a gorgeous drop approx. 150 ft. to the canyon wash floor at the bottom. Absolutely stunning. If ya need to knock off a few hours in the area, I'd highly recommend this canyon. Actually - go do Cassidy Arch Canyon along with the three hundred other people that are going to do it that day - Hahahaha

Capitol Gorge Petroglyphs, Capitol Reef National Park, Utah- GoPro Video
Ancient petroglyphs found along the Capitol Gorge Trail in Capitol Reef National Park, Utah.
Hiking Cassidy Arch Trail | Capitol Reef National Park, Utah
Family hiking to Cassidy Arch in Capitol Reef National Park, Utah. This is a popular trail thought we were alone on the trail went we visited end of October 2017.
Cassidy Arch, named after famous train and bank robber Butch Cassidy. He was a native from Utah. According to the legend, Cassidy and his gang used the arch as one of their hideouts.
The beginning of the hike is moderate to strenuous. Kairns are sometimes difficult to spot. Bring plenty of water, particularly in the summer as there is no shade on the trail, except at the end of the day. Due to some parts with steep drop off, it is not recommended for people with vertigo or who fear heights.

Capitol Reef is home to towering sandstone structures and impressive canyons, but it also holds many ancient petroglyphs, which are engraved etchings into rock walls. Fremont and Ancestral Puebloan people lived here between 600-1300 A.D., and their markings tell what appears to be their the stories, hunting patterns, crop cycles, and mythologies of their lives. What they thought and what exactly they were communicating, will never be known because there is no actual translation available. That’s part of the fun of seeing them: imagining what the conversations of the ancients told of this colorful and rugged place.
You can scour over the beautiful renderings yourself, and take your best guess at a mixture of forms, including pictures that appear to be anthropomorphs (human figures), wildlife, birds, tools, and more esoteric, abstract things. The Fremont people, more than other neighboring Native American cultures, were prolific with their rock art output.
Archaelogical artifacts from the Fremont were first found along the Fremont River, which flows through the park. These people lived in pit-style houses and they lived in bands of several families. They were hunter-gatherers, but also adopted agricultural practices to supplement their diets. The Fremont have left their markings throughout the park in petroglyphs on big rocks.
The most pristine example of Capitol Reef petroglyphs can be seen 1.5 miles east of the visitor center on Highway 24. The parking turnout is well-marked. It’s just a short walk along the boardwalk to get to the impressive petroglyph panel. You’ll note animals they hunted, as well as human-like figures with elaborate horned headdresses. Additionally, there is another rock art panel in Capitol Gorge, as well as smaller petroglyphs in more remote destinations within the park. The most pristine example can be seen 1.5 miles east of the visitor center on Highway 24. The parking turnout is well-marked.
It’s worth mentioning that you should refrain from touching the panels, because the oils in your hands can severely damage and erode these precious and ancient artforms. If you see anyone damaging rock art or any archeological site, report it to a ranger immediately.
The Fremont culture navigated this very landscape that you are exploring, searching for food, documenting the patterns of nature and time, potentially passing on information about medicine, and trying to communicate and translate the divine with petroglyphs. The real question is, what do you think the Capitol Reef petroglyphs mean? Start making plans to visit this mystical attraction on your next trip to Utah!
