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!

Capitol Reef National Park is an American national park in south-central Utah. The park is approximately 60 miles (97 km) long on its north–south axis and just 6 miles (9.7 km) wide on average. 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.
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. Capitol Reef National Park was designated a national monument on August 2, 1937, by President Franklin D. Roosevelt 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. Road access was improved in 1962 with the construction of State Route 24 through the Fremont River Canyon.
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 an especially rugged and spectacular segment of the Waterpocket Fold by the Fremont River.[4] The park was named for its whitish Navajo Sandstone cliffs 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. Locally, reef refers to any rocky barrier to land travel, just as ocean reefs are barriers to sea travel.

Capital Reef National Park - Utah
July 15th - 2014
As we headed west from Goblin Valley State Park on our way to the Richfield KOA in Richfield, we passed through Capital Reef National Park. We had planned on stopping, exploring and shooting video that afternoon, but the sky was dark and threatening and our Garmin RV760 kept alerting us every 15 minutes of Flash Flood Warnings in the area. We heard thunder off in the distance and since the light wasn't going to support much video, we cruised through the park and captured Go Pro footage exclusively. We did stop a couple times but didn't venture far.

Capitol Reef National Park is a United States National Park, in south-central Utah. It is 100 miles (160 km) long but fairly narrow. The park, established in 1971, preserves 241,904 acres (377.98 sq mi; 97,895.08 ha; 978.95 km2) and is open all year, although May through September are the most popular months.
Called Wayne Wonderland in the 1920s by local boosters Ephraim P. Pectol and Joseph S. Hickman, Capitol Reef National Park protects colorful canyons, ridges, buttes, and monoliths. About 75 mi (121 km) of the long up-thrust called the Waterpocket Fold, a rugged 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 near the Fremont River. The area was named for a line of white domes and cliffs of Navajo Sandstone, each of which looks somewhat like the United States Capitol building, that run from the Fremont River to Pleasant Creek on the Waterpocket Fold. The local word reef refers to any rocky barrier to travel.Easy road access only came in 1962, with the construction of State Route 24 through the Fremont River Canyon

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 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.

Fruita Utah & Capitol Reef Tour
Capitol Reef National Park Utah Adventure
Capitol Reef National Park in Utah astonishes with enormous walls of sandstone in every color imaginable. Driving and/or hiking through the park is like visiting another planet, Mars, perhaps, or a place even more exotic. The National Park Service placed signs throughout the park that explain how these rocks, some as old as the age of the dinosaurs, were deposited and uplifted to create this natural marvel. Larry Richardson created this video for RichardsonArtPhotographyStore.com using an Apple iPhone 7 and iMovie.
Fruita Historic District Scenic Drive | Capital Reef National Park
Scenic Route 24 to Capitol Reef National Park, Utah
After driving our Truck Camper to all 49 contiguous United States, I was asked by friends what road was my favorite! After giving it quite a bit of thought, one of my favorites has to be Utah’s Scenic Route 24! This is a scenic 75 mile road that has been freshly paved and has no lights! We drove this road, traveling East-to-West, to arrive at Capitol Reef National Park and Fruita Campground.
What makes this road special is the scenery! I remember saying to my wife, as we drove, how this road is like ‘something time has forgotten’! Around every corner is a completely different mountainous / hilly scene unfolding as you drive. The mountainous colors began as stark grayish and ended as a beautiful orangish brown that Utah is so famous for! I often wondered if it looks like scenery from the moon, or another planet! I couldn’t possibly count the times that I said ‘spectacular… just spectacular’!
If you ever get the chance to take a drive thru Utah, don’t miss this scenic masterpiece!
