When is the best time to visit Capitol Reef National Park?

I just moved to Ogden about three months ago, but I have yet to do much exploration due to my job. Now that I have some available PTO, I’d like to visit Capitol Reef National Park. What’s the best time to visit Capitol Reef National Park?

Most people visit
Utah
to experience Bryce Canyon or the Arches, allowing the majestic Capitol Reef National Park to go under the radar. That also means you may have the park to yourself. The best time to visit Capitol Reef National Park is in the springtime, when temperatures are warm but crowds are small.
On your trip to Capitol Reef National Park, consider a few of these activities for your itinerary:
  • Take the 16-mile stretch of Utah Highway 24 that runs through the middle of the park for some breathtaking scenery.
  • Walk the short 0.2-mile hike up to Goosenecks Overlook for a spectacular view of the surrounding landscapes.
  • Look at the ancient petroglyphs at the Hickman Bridge trailhead.
  • Explore the historic town of Fruita.
Due to the remote location of the park, adding
towing and labor coverage
to your car insurance policy can provide some peace of mind. Explore all of your options and check prices with the
