10
Best Hikes In Capitol Reef National Park

1
GOOSENECKS & SUNSET POINT

This is a short, easy hike out to a gorgeous overlook. It gets its name because it is one of the best spots in Capitol Reef to watch the sunset.

2
CHIMNEY ROCK

If you are looking for a relatively short hike that isn’t too challenging and offers great views over the park, hike the Chimney Rock loop.

3
HICKMAN BRIDGE

This is one of the best short hikes to do in Capitol Reef. Walk Along the Fremont River.

4
CAPITOL GORGE TRAIL

The Capitol Gorge Trail is a flat trail that heads through a wide canyon. It was the only road through the waterpocket fold until Highway 24 was constructed.

5
CASSIDY ARCH

If you only have time in Capitol Reef National Park for one hike, this is one of the trails that I recommend.

6
GRAND WASH

The Grand Wash is a very wide canyon, similar to the Narrows in Zion, only without the Virgin River. 

7
COHAB CANYON

The main reason to do this hike is for aerial views over Fruita. This trail starts in historic Fruita and then rapidly climbs up into the sandstone cliffs. 

8
RIM OVERLOOK

Similar to Cohab Canyon, the main reason for doing this hike are for jaw-dropping views of Fruita and Capitol Reef National Park.

9
NAVAJO KNOBS

From the valley floor, you will steadily hike up to the Rim Overlook, for jaw-dropping views over Fruita, Highway 24, and Scenic Drive. 

10
SULPHUR CREEK

This 5.8-mile one-way hike is typically done point-to-point, which requires a having a second vehicle as a shuttle.
