Admission includedStanding at the base of the Waterpocket Fold, you feel the full weight of Capitol Reef National Park pressing in around you. Layers of crimson and cream sandstone rise in waves that took nearly 65 million years to form. The air carries the faint sweetness of ripening fruit from the century-old orchards at Fruita, reminding you that this remote corner of Utah holds both geological wonder and quiet human history.
