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.

Hiking Cassidy Arch Trail | Capitol Reef National Park, Utah
Family hiking to Cassidy Arch in Capitol Reef National Park, Utah. This is a popular trail thought we were alone on the trail went we visited end of October 2017.
Cassidy Arch, named after famous train and bank robber Butch Cassidy. He was a native from Utah. According to the legend, Cassidy and his gang used the arch as one of their hideouts.
The beginning of the hike is moderate to strenuous. Kairns are sometimes difficult to spot. Bring plenty of water, particularly in the summer as there is no shade on the trail, except at the end of the day. Due to some parts with steep drop off, it is not recommended for people with vertigo or who fear heights.

Visit Butch Cassidy's Childhood Home - Uniquely Utah
The recently restored boyhood home of Butch Cassidy is located just south of Circleville, Utah.
There is a small parking lot and restrooms just off of Highway 89 which are always open, however, the cabin is only open to the public during special events or by arranging a group tour.
The entire region is a great destination for those looking to connect with the old west.
Watch the video for a first-hand look at the cabin.

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 -- Torrey to Fruita
This is a short trip through the Capitol Reef National Park east of Torrey Utah and heading towards Hanksville Utah. I began the trip about 30 minutes later than ideal but I still got some nice light in places. The video was shot using a GoPro Hero 3 Black camera mounted to the top of the windshield but on the outside of the car to avoid glare and reflections from the windshield. But, having the camera mounted to the outside meant the microphone on the camera was licking up mostly wind noise so I reduced the sound from it by 36db.
At about the twelve minute mark I entered the town of Fruita and in addition to the historic one room schoolhouse there is an amazing collection of petroglyphs that are quite spectacular.
In addition, there are a number of formations I pass along the journey including Twin Rocks, Chimney Rock and another I believe is called Castle Rock.
