Capitol Reef Scenic Drive

This is a short, ten mile road which follows the reef itself, starting at the visitor center then south past huge, crumbling, multicolored cliffs with magnificent scenery in all directions.

The last few miles are unpaved, and most of the route is narrow and winding. The road ends at the start of a narrow steep-walled canyon called Capitol Gorge.

Directions

The drive starts immediately at the visitor center.
