Capitol Reef National Park, located in south-central Utah, USA, is a stunning expanse of geological wonders characterized by its rugged cliffs, towering monoliths, and deep canyons. The park's most prominent feature is the Waterpocket Fold, a nearly 100-mile-long warp in the Earth's crust that creates a dramatic landscape of colorful sandstone formations. Visitors can explore a variety of trails, ranging from easy walks to challenging hikes, that showcase the area's natural beauty and rich history. The park is also home to the historic Fruita District, where early settlers planted orchards that still bear fruit today.
