Capitol Reef National Park is one of the most underrated national parks in Utah. It is known for its sandstone domes, natural arches, and monoliths. But, this national park is also home to one of the Beehive State’s best-kept secrets — Gifford Homestead.
The Gifford Homestead is typically open between March and November each year. You can learn more about this historic destination, as well as its seasonal dates and hours, on the Capitol Reef National Park website.
