  • The fruit pies are a main stay with us, every time we camp at Fruita Campground. And the Cathedral Valley loop drive is worth the 5 - 6 hours of 4 wheeling. The deer roaming through the area, ranger shows, scenic drive and washes, dark sky nights with stars - all worth it.

    That view of the fremont river trail is so beautiful! I want to go there for the Oct 14th annular eclipse. The center line will pass through Capitol Reef!
  • @TravelSmallLiveBig
    I love the history here & the ranger’s knowledge & passion! Ranger Eric is the bomb!

    Well done guys, love Capitol Reef. Stayed in Fruita Campground end of Apr. this year. What a beautiful campground
  • @gregdaniels3347
    We're going in a couple weeks. Thank you for helping our plan.
  • @Blessed2RV
    We got there early to get pies! 🥧 Yummy! Loved the Grand Wash Trail and Hickman Bridge Trail. It's definitely one of my favorite NPs!!! ❤️

    Oh what fun! Tim and I haven’t visited Capitol Reef NP yet, but NOW (due to your excellent video and informative narration!) my Bucket List is even longer. I can’t wait to take our Lucy Navion there! I am ALSO petrified of heights, Katelyn, so you won’t find me up in those high places! It is so amazing just how beautiful our Country is, and with such diverse landscapes…as-always, with so many thanks for sharing your travels with me (and everyone else!), always bringing a smile to my face, Much Love, Virginia 💕
  • We visited this park - beautiful! And full disclosure ... we bought one of every flavor of pie 😋 Thanks for sharing about the bats - didn't realize that - we did see the "mines" tho. I love that Fremont River trail y'all did. It was pretty hot when we were there - oh and one of the days it was pretty rainy but I would have liked to have done that. We're happy to say we did all of the big 5.

    Loved visiting Capital Reef last year! Thanks for such a great video showing its beauty and a few things we missed! Loved the campground and trails you showed! We missed those during our day trip. I really love telling others about this park. Everyone needs to visit Capital Reef!

    Just gorgeous! I believe this park is excellent evidence of a world wide flood! So cool!
