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.

The park requires all visitors 16 yrs of age and older traveling Scenic Drive beyond the Fruita Campground to pay an entrance fee.
