of the Capitol Reef Visitor Center
and extends south to Bullfrog Marina
and Glen Canyon National
Recreation Area.

Notom, UT
USA
THE NOTOM
area was originally settled in 1883
and, at its largest population, was
once inhabited by 23 families.
Today Notom is the jumping off point
for exploration of the eastern edge of
Capitol Reef National Park
and is home to the Sunlit Oasis.
The Notom Road Scenic Backway
leads from Highway 24, along the
east side of Capitol Reef National Park
to the junction ofnd hiking opportunities.
Access to many of the
park's backcountry trails, such as
Lower Muley Twist and Halls Creek
Narrows can be found off this road.
While portions of the road outside the
park are paved, the majority of the
Notom-Bullfrog road is dirt and subject to
changes in weather conditions.
Visitors are advised to check with the
visitor center before driving
any of the dirt roads.
Notom Road
Detailed Trail Description from
our Guidebook
This easygoing route passes through
the old town site of Notom and across
the Sandy Creek Benches to travel along
inside the Waterpocket Fold in
Capitol Reef National Park.
It is often suitable for passenger cars
in dry weather, but loose sand, bulldust,
and a couple of rough wash
crossings make it preferable to
have a high-clearance vehicle.
Special Attractions:
Old town site of Notom;
Views of the Waterpocket Fold and
Oyster Shell Reef within
Capitol Reef National Park.
High clearance vehicles are preferred,
but not necessary.
This trail is dirt roads, but may have
rocks, grades, water crossings, or
ruts that make clearance a concern in
a normal passenger vehicle.
The trail is fairly wide, so that passing
is possible at almost any point along
the trail.
Mud is not a concern under
normal weather conditions.
CAPITOL REEF
The most scenic portion
of the Waterpocket Fold,
found near the
Fremont River, is known as
Capitol Reef:
capitol for the white domes of
Navajo Sandstone that resemble
capitol building domes,
and reef for the rocky
cliffs which are a barrier
to travel, like a coral reef.
The geologic story of Capitol Reef
can be broken down into three steps,
each of which occurred over millions
of years of geologic time:
deposition, uplift, and erosion.
The area of Capitol Reef
has been a homeland
to people for thousands of years.
Archaic hunters and gatherers migrated
through the canyons.
Fremont Culture solidified around
500 CE, from food foraging groups,
to farmers of corn, beans and squash.
Petroglyphs etched in rock walls
and painted pictographs remain as
sacred remnants of the
ancient Indians' saga. Explorers,
Mormon pioneers and others
arrived in the 1800s, settling in what
is now the Fruita Rural Historic District.
They planted and nurtured orchards
of apples, pears, and peaches.
The National Park Service preserves
the stories of those who came before.
Discover the Waterpocket Fold,
a geologic wrinkle on earth!
Located in south-central Utah
in the heart of red rock country,
Capitol Reef National Park is a
hidden treasure filled with cliffs, canyons,
domes and bridges in the Waterpocket Fold,
a geologic monocline (a wrinkle on the earth)
extending almost 100 miles.

Driving the Burr Trail Road to Notom - Grand Staircase Escalante NM and Capitol Reef NP
In this video I drive from Boulder, UT, along the Scenic Hwy 12, down the Burr Trail Road to the Burr Trail Switchbacks, then down to the Notom-Bullfrog Road, and head north to Notom on the eastern side of Capitol Reef National Park.
Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument is one of the most beautiful places in Utah, but much of it is being threatened by mining and oil rigs, which breaks my heart. Once a place is protected, it should stay protected. I hope you will joing me in protecting this incredible land.

Video of my very scenic journey down Utah's Burr Trail. The road trip begins a few miles eat of Boulder, Utah and continues into the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, through beautiful Long Canyon, into Capitol Reef National Park, down the imposing switchbacks of Burr Canyon and ends in front of the majestic Waterpocker Fold. Some of Utah's most impressive scenery can be seen from this remote byway.

ABOUT CAPITOL REEF NATIONAL PARK IN UTAH
Capitol Reef National Park is a hidden treasure between Zion/Bryce National Parks and Arches National Park. Capitol Reef is a 100-mile pinch in the earth’s crust in the geographical middle of nowhere, but it’s overloaded with geological, cultural and sensory consequence … tiny cross-section of the spinning rock we’re clinging to. Named for what it looks like (white rock domes like the U.S. Capitol, rocky ridges like marine reefs) — but isn’t — because it wasn’t like anything anyone had ever seen.
There’s the Waterpocket Fold ... a jagged scar where the devil dragged his pitchfork on the way to Las Vegas (a.k.a a monocline — the seam left over when shifting plates lifted one side of a fault 7,000 feet). Spend your brief time absorbing what took 70 million years and two major geologic events to create.
There are red and white rock bands … more virtuosic than Jack White himself. The Waterpocket fold horizontalizes layers of white Navajo Sandstone, red Wingate, shale and pinkish Entrada Sandstone like an entropic chunk of tipped cake. Depending on where you stand, the stripes are half an inch or half a mile wide. (You may find the iron in the red rocks magnetizes your camera lens.)
There are ruined civilizations … both ancient and recent. Fremont Indian rock shelters a mile and a thousand years from Mormon settlers’ cabins. Pictographs and grinding stones in the cliffs, apple orchards and a one-room schoolhouse in Fruita down below. See how earlier Utah people lived and see if they didn’t do a few things better than us.
Narrow rivers cutting gaping Goosenecks. Chimney Rock. Hickman Bridge. Broken towers’ jagged shadows. Look deep into the earth’s time and space from this one little foothold on, say, a Tuesday. Drive, camp and hike. Consider the bighorn sheep. Zoom in. Zoom out.
That’s just a small part of the adventure and beauty you’ll find here in this beautiful National Park Service unit!

Capitol Reef National Park 3-minute Tour
Capitol Reef National Park in Utah is a little-known gem of the national park service. This is the heart of the Canyon Country - red rock cliffs and giant geological formations like the water-pocket fold, the Capitol Dome for which the park is named, and the historic Morman town of Fruita.

The AWESOME Spooky and Peek-a-Boo Canyon and Burr Trail Scenic Drive, Utah
Without a doubt, our favorite hike in the US for its scrambling adventure and tight spaces is the Peek-a-Boo and Spooky Canyon in Grand Escalante National Monument, Utah.
It's especially fun for the kids. Plus, we take the scenic Burr Trail through Grand Escalante and into the southern part of Capitol Reef National Park

Burr Trail Switchbacks
The second video from our trip to Escalante, Ut. This video is of the Switchbacks at the end of the Burr Trail in Capitol Reef National Park. I have to say the Capitol Reef is my favorite National Park. I've never been disappointed visiting ANY part of the park. Always a low head count, and views on top of views. Oh, Shelf roads. I can't get enough of them. This one was pretty tame, but still cool.
Road Trip@Scenic Drive, Capitol Gorge, Caineville of Capitol Reef National Park
Capitol Reef National Park is a United States National Park, in south-central Utah. The park is approximately 60 miles (97 km) long on its north–south axis but an average of just 6 miles (9.7 km) wide. The park was established in 1971 to preserve 241,904 acres (377.98 sq mi; 97,895.08 ha; 978.95 km2) of desert landscape and is open all year with May through September being the highest visitation months.
Located partially in Wayne County, Utah, the area was originally named Wayne Wonderland in the 1920s by local boosters Ephraim P. Pectol and Joseph S. Hickman.[3] Capitol Reef National Park was initially designated a National Monument on August 2, 1937 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in order to protect the area's colorful canyons, ridges, buttes, and monoliths; however, it was not until 1950 that the area officially opened to the public.[3] Easy road access only came in 1962 with the construction of State Route 24 through the Fremont River Canyon.[4]
The majority of the nearly 100 mi (160 km) long up-thrust formation called the Waterpocket Fold—a rocky spine extending from Thousand Lake Mountain to Lake Powell—is preserved within the park. Capitol Reef is the name of an especially rugged and spectacular segment of the Waterpocket Fold by the Fremont River.[4] The park was named for a line of cliffs of white Navajo Sandstone with dome formations—similar to the white domes often placed on capitol buildings—that run from the Fremont River to Pleasant Creek on the Waterpocket Fold. The local word reef refers to any rocky barrier to land travel, just as ocean reefs are barriers to sea travel.[5][
