The Capitol Reef Scenic Drive is a paved touring route through the central section of this picturesque National Park. Doing a slow ride on this road will reward passengers with endless breathtaking views and it is a good way to become familiar with this park. There are a few dirt side road options along this road that go to some of the most famous Capitol Reef natural landmarks, which include the Grand Wash, the Tapestry Wall, a natural arch, Golden Throne and Capitol Gorge. Most of the dirt roads in this area are smooth enough for regular passenger cars, which is a real plus for casual tourists. Be sure to pack a picnic basket and plenty of water, because the majestic views are endless and an entire day of adventure awaits for those who take a leisurely cruise on the Capitol Reef Scenic Drive!

New!
Destination West YouTube channel! https://www.youtube.com/@DestinationWestOrg *The Destination West website upgrading project is well underway. Unique YouTube slideshows are replacing the outdated Flickr photo galleries. The new videos feature modern graphics and alternative music instrumentals that enhance the viewing experience. Some articles are being condensed, while others are getting much needed edits. As everybody knows, the bulk of the original articles and photos were published on the fly during the Covid camping venture and there were limitations. Upgrading is the way to go and more articles will receive a makeover each week until this project is completed. After that, I will be able to gather new material. There is light at the end of the tunnel!
