1. capitol reef national park

   Capitol Reef National Park is a United States National Park located in south-central Utah. The park is characterized by its incredible rock formations, cliffs, canyons, and a 100-mile long ridge in the Earth’s crust known as the Waterpocket Fold. The park, encompassing approximately 378 square miles, is named after its array of massive white sandstone domes resembling the U.S. Capitol building and the rocky cliffs which are reminiscent of a coral reef. Besides its geological features, the park is also home to various species of plants and animals. It offers recreational activities like hiking, camping, and sightseeing for visitors. The park was initially designated a national monument in 1937, before being redesignated as a national park in 1971.

1. Capitol Reef National Park

   Capitol Reef National Park is a United States National Park, in south-central Utah. It is 100 miles long but fairly narrow. The park, established in 1971, preserves 241,904 acres and is open all year, although May through September are the most popular months. Called "Wayne Wonderland" in the 1920s by local boosters Ephraim P. Pectol and Joseph S. Hickman, Capitol Reef National Park protects colorful canyons, ridges, buttes, and monoliths. About 75 mi of the long up-thrust called the Waterpocket Fold, a rugged spine extending from Thousand Lake Mountain to Lake Powell, is preserved within the park. "Capitol Reef" is the name of an especially rugged and spectacular segment of the Waterpocket Fold near the Fremont River. 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, that run from the Fremont River to Pleasant Creek on the Waterpocket Fold. The local word reef referred to any rocky barrier to travel. Easy road access came with the construction in 1962 of State Route 24 through the Fremont River Canyon.
