Capitol Reef National Park is full of natural wonders, and it will take you several days just to scratch the surface of everything the 241,904-acre park has to offer.
Stay nearby at Red River Ranch, where you’ll experience some of the best the West has to offer: a large, log cabin-style lodge with luxurious furnishings, 2,000 acres of pasture, and a herd of American bison!
Capitol Reef National Park and the area around it epitomizes the West - vast expanses of open land, towering red cliffs and rock formations, and a big, blue sky above it all. Plan your trip to include at least a week to explore this part of Utah.
Stay on your side of the fence - these guys are big, and you don't want to cross a cranky one. Hang out and watch them for awhile, and don't forget your camera. It's not every day that you see a herd of bison!
The lodge was built in the fashion of a grand, Old Western lodge. Its log exterior and soaring ceilings are stunning, and it's filled with eclectic furnishings.
In the morning, head to Cliffside, the lodge's restaurant, for a hearty breakfast, made to order. If you're getting ready for a day of exploration at Capitol Reef, ask them to pack you a lunch to take along.
