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.

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.

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][
Capitol Reef and Caineville Wash Road, Utah
During my most recent visit to Capitol Reef National Park, the remains of Hurricane Bianca were inflicting thunderstorms whose torrential rainfalls took out roads one after the other. There were 'Road closed-storm damage' signs everywhere.
When I arrived, the river ford to access North Cathedral Valley was already closed due to high water in the river. Then, I managed to get only one brief drive on the Park's main scenic road before an overnight storm closed it. The Caineville Wash Road up the East side of the park grew rougher each day, as storms lashed it. I have a great collection of 'Gully crossing' videos..
Still, there were periods of clear skies and intense sunshine. I used those for shooting High Dynamic Range images, GoPro videos and some very limited drone flights.
Capitol Reef Scenic Drive ( Utah ) 4k Ultra HD
Capitol Reef Scenic Drive ( Capitol Reef National Park , Utah ) is a 7.9 mile (12.7 km) paved road with dirt spur roads into Grand Wash and Capitol Gorge that, weather permitting, are accessible to all passenger vehicles and RV's up to 27 feet in length. Most rock at Capitol Reef is sedimentary, formed in layers from loose materials, like mud and sand. Geologists classify the rock layers into various formations. Many formations also have different parts, or members. These layers record the landscapes and lifeforms of a younger planet Earth.
UT-24 도로 선상에 있는 Capitol Reef Visitor Center 를 지나 공원안의 7.5 마일 Scenic Drive 를 왕복하는 길이 캐피톨리프의 주요 관광 포인트 중의 하나인데 포장도로 마지막에 있는 Capitol Gorge ( 비포장도로,4 X 4 만 진입 ) 지역이나 비지터센터에서 가까운 Grand Wash 지역을 둘러보면 색다른 경험을 할 수 있습니다. 케피탈 리프 시닉 드라이브 는 화려한 color 의 절벽, 숨겨진 아치, 거대한 돔 및 깊고 뒤틀리는 협곡을 연상시키는 세계입니다. 넓고 웅장한 풍경; 겉으로 보기에는 끝이없는 풍경이 뒤틀린 지형의 무한한 하늘과 사막의 바위. 브라이스 (Bryce)와 자이언 (Zion)은 착색 된 돌과 깎아 지른듯한 절벽으로 둘러싸인 작은 환상의 땅과 같지만 Capitol Reef 는 그 자체로 행성과 거의 같습니다. 여기서 여러분들이 태어 나기 전 수백만 년이 지났을 때, 지구와 하늘이 존재하지 않았을 때 지구가 어떠했을지에 대한 진정한 느낌을 얻습니다.
