| lcarreau | I want to go back! Date Climbed: Jun 25, 1982 | |
| This is a beautiful Park. There was an orchard there in 1982. I can't believe its been 26 years since I last visited. I came in from the west, which is a dirt (4x4) road from Highway 12 and Dixie National Forest, in the area of Lower Bowns Reservoir. I bet (you'all) didn't know that actor Robert Redford was fishing at Lower Bowns Reservoir in the early 1990s. I know this because my Dad's friend was a campground host there. Anyway, the dirt road drops down to Tantalus Flats, then turns north to an area where a perennial stream (Pleasant Creek) cascades down off the plateau into the "Capitol Gorge" area of Capitol Reef NP. | |

| tonyo | Love this place... | |
| ... so much I've bought property in the area! I've done most of the routes on this page in the summer and a few in the winter. Really an under-rated national park. But that's OK- it's not crowded! | |

| Made 2 trips here - 2002 and 2005 we finally got back to do more exploring in this wonderful area! | |

| d_shorb | cool isolated place | |
| Working in the surrounding desert for 3 years, I explored many of the canyons, slots, etc. The Bentonite hills suck in the mud. | |

| I've done all routes currently posted on SP, either in 2002 or 2005. All are fantastic! Capitol Reef is a great secret and a hiker's and climber's paradise! | |

| mountaingazelle | Very pretty | |
| I've been to Capitol Reef many times. It's not visited as much as the other National Parks in southern Utah. I have hiked many of the trails in the park but the best stuff is in the places where very few people go. There are several nice slot canyons in the Waterpocket Fold. | |
