Once called the “land of the sleeping rainbow”, this multi colored rock formation is surrounded by abundant riverbanks and canopied in a colossal vista of the desert sky. Highway 24 which passes through the park (east/west) and the park’s scenic drive (north/south) are two roads that will reward visually but also offer opportunities to experience Native American and pioneer history, along with some excellent hiking or biking opportunities. Captiol Reef is Utah’s lesser-known Mighty Five National park and a treasure you won’t want to miss.
