This park totally surprised me! I loved it! We enjoyed the scenic drive and continued down the 2.5 mile dirt road through Capitol Gorge in order to hike through the gorge and to hike up to the Tanks.… Full review by bonw796

Capitol reef is a dessert charm. It is an Utah’s hidden treasure, you should try exploring it. We did it and it was a good experience. Full review by 433selenaf

One of the least known national parks, Capitol Reef is a gem with many beautiful hikes and stunning scenery. Pleasant to drive through but much more enjoyable to get out and hike. It's much easier … Full review by Jeff L

Capital Reef goes up to 11,000 feet. Starting elevation for many trails in Capitol Reef is around 5,000 feet (1524 meters), which can make even "easy" trails challenging for people visiting from lower elevations. You should also check directly with NPS.
My husband and I would like to take our sons to Capital Reef. HOwever, we have a 9 year old with ASD who sometimes likes to run off. Therefore, we removed Bryce and Grand Canyon from our list. Can anyone tell us of any hiking trails at this park without drop off's where if he ran he would not get hurt?

Where we drove in Capitol Reef it looked relatively flat and you looked up at the rock formations. I think if you take the road to the end there are some trails you can take from there and I think they are relatively flat. Have you been to Zion? There are trails there you can take on the valley floor.
We are driving from Moab to Torrey/Capital Reef and then a few days later to Park City/SLC. We have several hotels booked - but a couple days we want to be open to our plans with our 2 kids. Will we be able to find something i(hotel/motel) n June without having reserved in advance during this high season?

Sorry for the delay in responding....Trip Advisor no longer sends questions to us....I just happened to see your question while deleting messages. I cannot answer your question specifically....during that time of year it could be a problem. HOWEVER....I would recommend that you call Carlton Hotel in Salt Lake City...1-800-633-3500. They could, possibly, give you a better answer. We were there last fall on a VERY busy weekend ...the semi-annual Morman convention. The hotel is 2 blocks from the Morman complex and the hotel was not busy. Paid $79.00 per night and had 2 bedrooms and kitchenette. Hot breakfast in morning. Park City & Olympic Park about 35 minute drive from hotel. See my reviews of both areas on TA.
Hello. Did you carry chains while driving through Capitol Reef? We also plan to visit in March and wonder about road conditions. Did you make campground reservations before you went? Thanks.
A:
All I can add is that in late September in the middle of the week the entire campground (one of the most beautiful in the area) was full. I would definitely make reservations.
