Upper Muley Twist Canyon | Capitol Reef National Park | Utah
Upper Muley Twist Canyon is a day hike located in Capitol Reef National Park, in southern Utah. If hiked during Fall, you can enjoy some incredible fall colors around November.
The hike is 9 miles round trip, and the first half takes you through the sandy floor of the canyon.
Numerous arches, including Saddle Arch, are seen along the hike. Saddle Arch is the only named arch, but there are plenty more equally beautiful arches visible by the keen eye.
The first half of the hike is very easy going and almost completely flat, allowing you to appreciate the scenery.
Eventually you reach the slot canyon at the end of Upper Muley, which is worth exploring but eventually comes to a dead end – a 20 foot waterfall. It may not be Antelope Canyon, but it still has some decent slots.
Finally, you hike up to the rim and are treated with expansive views of Capitol Reef. Even though hiking up to the rim is challenging, the views are well worth it. You then hike along the rim back towards your car, appreciating the enormous canyon from your birds eye view.

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.

SwitchbackKids .'s Review on The Dyrt:
▶︎ Free and easy access to Capitol Reef National Park!
After visiting two very popular Utah parks -- Zion and Bryce Canyon -- Capitol Reef was a breath of fresh air. And one of our favorite parts about visiting this park is that it was almost totally free!
When we arrived at the visitor center, they informed us that their only developed campground, Fruita Campground (first-come-first-served only, not reservable) was full for the night, and rangers were ready with a handout full of alternative camping areas. We had not dabbled into BLM (Bureau of Land Management) camping before, but this experience would encourage us to utilize it throughout the rest of our year-long trip to the national parks.
This “campground” is located about a mile outside of the national park, which allows great access to everything inside Capitol Reef. Usually free camping like this is harder to discover, but this pull-off is just off the road.
Benefits of camping in BLM land include the cost (free!), solitude (you can be as far away from people as you’d like), and easy access to the national park (in fact, most national parks are surrounded with National Forest Service or BLM land!). Downsides, of course, include the lack of amenities, the sometimes uninspiring scenery, and the feeling of uneasiness (can I really just camp here? For free?)
Capitol Reef’s BLM camping is plentiful, but this site was definitely the best. We were able to drive up on a high ridge of the pull-out area that the RVs could not easily access, so we felt alone and watched the g...

American Southwest (#19): Capitol Reef N.P., Utah (Part 1)
Capital Reef ... The Waterpocket Fold is a straight, 100 mile long ridge of tilted and layered rock stretching from the Fishlake Mountains in central Utah to Lake Powell in the south. Most is preserved in Capitol Reef National Park, which contains multicolored cliffs, narrow canyons, ridges, arches, spires and domes. The monument is so named because of the resemblance of the many whitish sandstone domes to the US Capitol building; the 'Reef' refers to the high uplifted ridge running north-south along the fold which presented a considerable barrier to early settlers. The park, the second largest in the state, is much less visited than others in south Utah, partly due to the rather remote location and perhaps because there is no obvious central attraction.
Fruita ... visitors to Capitol Reef National park are often curious about the fruit trees that lie within a mile or two of the Visitor Center. These trees - apple, pear, peach, cherry, apricot, mulberry, even Potowatomee Plum - are the most obvious reminder of the pioneer community that once prospered in the narrow valley of the Fremont River.
Settlement came late to south-central Utah; the Capitol Reef area wasn't charted by credible explorers until 1872. In the last half of that decade, Latter Day Saints (Mormon) settlers moved into the high plateau lands west of Capitol Reef and established communities based on short-season farming and grazing. They then looked to the east, along the corridor of water snaking through the soaring cliffs and domes of the Waterpocket Fold - the Fremont River. The origin of the little community at the junction of the Fremont River and Sulphur Creek is obscure. The first resident may have been an 1879 squatter by the name of Franklin Young, but the first landholder of record was Niels Johnson. Other soon followed, and the community that sprang up became known as Junction. The orchards of the residents prospered and before the turn of the century Junction was know as the Eden of Wayne County. In 1902, the name of the little settlement was changed to Fruita. The settlement never incorporated. The population averaged about 10 families.
The orchards - all owned by the National Park Service - are maintained at a level of about 2,500 trees with 1,800 in production. A small crew is kept busy year-round with pruning, irrigation, replanting, and spraying. As each fruit crop comes into season, the fruit is made available to the public on a pick-your-own basis. The park Superintendent sets the per pound or bushel price after checking local commercial orchard prices. Although he may take the isolation of Fruita into consideration in setting prices, he is not permitted to undercut private enterprise. Management of the orchards, especially during picking season, presents some difficult problems to resolve. Because the trees were planted in smallish family orchards originally - each with a wide variety of fruit - fruit ripens in many mini-orchards at varying times. It is very difficult for park rangers to open orchards for picking in small penny packets and still exercise the control needed to protect the trees from damage and pickers from unsafe acts.

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.

Capitol Reef National Park - Part 1, Utah 2013 #12
Part 1: Capitol Reef encompasses the Waterpocket Fold, a warp in the earth's crust that is 65 million years old and 100 miles long. 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, and the waterpocket fold / barrier reef like appearance as viewed from the air. Capitol Gorge was the former UT Rt 24 until 1962, and became a US National Park in 1971.

RV Travel Life | Capitol Reef National Park & Torrey Utah
Capitol Reef National Park is located about 15 minutes (driving) from Torrey, Utah. We recommend stopping by the visitors center first and getting a map because the park is very long and narrow. We decided to take the scenic drive first and get our feet wet before jumping in on hiking. There are plenty of great trails under 3 miles that are very scenic and offer all kinds of perspectives of the desert. If you enjoy hiking, biking, and being outdoors this needs to be on your bucket list. The roads are very narrow. We saw a caravan of Class C Rentals (10 of them) traveling down the scenic route. We were very worried considering how narrow the roads were. Several of them did not seem like they were very experienced with RVs either, which made it much worse. There are lots of tight corners and quick turns. We are advising everyone to just be careful and take appropriate safety measures so everyone can enjoy their time in the park.This would be much better for bicycles and motorcycles, and Jeeps :)
It is $10.00 per vehicle to enter the park. Upon entering the scenic drive there is a stand off to the right. In order for our parks to keep running and look this nice, you need to stop here and pay the fee. So many people skipped this which made us really sad.
Lower Antelope Canyon is the second part of two, of the Antelope Slot Canyons. In the 1990s the Navajo Nation decided that this would be a good destination for traveling tourists. The Slot Canyons provide a beautiful playground for photographers from around the world. This is an extremely touristy location that people travel to from around the globe. The tour guides were all Navajo Natives, and from our understanding, only the Navajo Natives could work there. The tour guides were very helpful in explaining how to best capture photos of the area, however, there was not much explained about the culture and how they related to the slot canyons.

Capitol Reef National Park
After visiting Goblin Valley State Park we continued on our journey following Rte 24 through Hanksville to Capitol Reef National Park. Capitol Reef is defined by the Waterpocket Fold, a nearly 100 mile long warp in the earth's crust. The pockets of the Waterpocket Fold are natural basins capable of holding rainwater and snowmelt. It was these waterpockets along the fertile floodplains of the Fremont River that attracted early human settlers. This place is amazing! Don't miss it.

Le voyage commence à l’est de BOULDER sur l’Utha Highway 12 dans le comté de Garfield, dans l’Utah. La route à prendre est La Burr Trail road qui traverse, pour commencer, un superbe Canyon avec d’imposantes falaises rouges, «LONG CANYON», qui jusque-là est goudronnée. Puis la route continue par une piste sablonneuse (impraticable par temps de pluie même en 4x4). On arrive bientôt à « SWITCHBACKS » une route en lacés qui nous fait perdre environ 250 mètres d’altitude pour arriver à «CAPITOL RIFF NATIONAL PARK». En continuant la Burr Trail road sur quelques kilomètres on arrive à un carrefour. Cette route continue vers le sud (jusque vers le Lac Powel) et vers le nord (Cainville) par la Notom-Bullfrog Road. La piste est rectiligne mais en tôle ondulée on traverse alors une petite partie du magnifique Parc Capitol Riff qui est immense.

The journey begins east of BOULDER on Utha Highway 12 in Garfield County, Utah. The road to take is The Burr Trail road which crosses to start a superb Canyon with imposing red cliffs, LONG CANYON, which until then is tarred. Then the road continues by a sandy track (impassable in rainy weather even in 4x4). We soon arrive at SWITCHBACKS a road in laced that makes us lose 820 feet of altitude, above to arrive at the «CAPITOL RIFF NATIONAL PARK. Continuing the Burr Trail road for a few kilometers you come to a crossroads. This route continues south (to Powel Lake) and north (Cainville) through Notom-Bullfrog Road. The track is uneven surface but straight, then we cross a small part of the magnificent Capitol Riff Park which is huge.
