Most people don’t visit the most beautiful part of Capitol Reef National Park, for that it is remote and difficult to access. | |||
After visiting the Utah Mighty 5, Capitol Reef is the MOST UNDERRATED Utah National Park in our opinion, especially the remote and beautiful cathedral valley and temple of the sun and moon. | |||
🥾To access Cathedral Valley, you MUST have a high clearance 4x4. Major stops along Cathedral Valley include: | |||
📍Upper Cathedral Valley Overlook (0.1 miles RT) 📍Walls of Jericho (roadside pull-off) 📍Glass Mountain (roadside pull-off) 📍Temple of the Sun (roadside pull-off) 📍Temple of the Moon (roadside pull-off) | |||
🔥Bonus: while not technically within the park boundary, Bentonite Hill is a pretty stop right outside of Cathedral Valley worth a visit. It is a patch of badlands with beautiful stripes. | |||
No hiking required for most of these spots, but you are free to roam around for different angles of the temples! Please practice “Leave No Trace” while exploring this remote part of the park. | |||
