Capitol Reef National Park is one of Utah's Mighty Five National Parks. The park is the least visited of the five but it is well worth taking the time to explore. The park has many stunning natural features, like rock arches and multiple canyons. Plus, the park is full of history with the Fruita Historic District and the famous pies they sell at Gifford House. My dad and I spent one day in the park and loved getting to know a new part of Utah. Let me know what you think in the comments.

    I so appreciate this. I'm disabled and cannot go and see these wonderful places, so I appreciate you and this channel. Thank you!☺️
  • I really love all the trips you and Pops take together. So cool that you two get to share these memories together.
  • @NereoSal
    You always bring back great memories of my trips in the US. This area specifically is amazing. I encourage everyone to travel, no matter how difficult it might seem. I'm heavily disabled, but yet, with the help of my friend who clicked on the "purchase ticket" button while I was in the bathroom (yes the idea of going to the US alone scared me and I didn't have the courage to click that button!) I managed to travel solo from Italy and enjoy driving through the beautiful south west scenery. There are pieces of my heart left between the Eastern Sierras and the White Sands National Park!

    Thanks for the beautiful tour, I’d never heard of Capitol Reef NP before. It’s so nice that you are able to take these trips with your dad. Cherish them!
  • Oh my goodness. I would never be able to do that trail to the arch. Thank you for filming it so well, because it is the only way I would ever see it!
  • @patkeen8668
    Great job! Love that you and your Dad can do things together.

    I appreciate your videos of the National Parks; I am going there next year! I love our national parks! Your Dad looks so small on that trail!
  • @beriblonde
    The best video I've seen of Capitol Reef. Thanks! And I'm still so in love with Pops. :)
  • @melmicsim
    Great video! This is probably my favorite National Park, and definitely one of the more overlooked ones. The views are breathtaking.
  • It really is a beautiful park! 🥰🥰❤️👍🙌I really enjoy all the trips with pops and all the great memories you have together. 🥹🥹👍💕
  • @RelaxedRoamer
    I just want to say thanks for another wonderful walking tour. Enjoyed watching it 😍
  • @davefalls6703
    Very well done video. This is a vacation that I have been dreaming about for a long time. The information is priceless and again I thank you for an excellent video
  • I can't wait to watch this. As you know, I'm a Utahn and the mighty five is epic. This park is my second favorite in Utah. I call it, "The Poor Man Zion" because it has similar trails and views. If you come back, you should do the Sulphur Creek Trail. Epic 5 mile point to point that takes you past 3 waterfalls I think. Def wanna watch out for flash flooding. This park I swear gets crazy intense with that in the summer monsoon season. All the best!
