I didn't know what to expect out of Capitol Reef and it completely amazed me! The scenic drive was by far one of my favorite things to do in the park, with the many trails and viewpoints also making a lasting impression, especially Hickman Bridge and Chimney Rock.
If you're lucky enough to tackle the Mighty 5 as a whole package on this epic road trip, make sure you don't sleep on the section of driving between Capitol Reef and Bryce Canyon! We're wrapping up this leg of the trip with Scenic Byway 12, which could be a destination all on its own.

Matthias👋
Hi Matthias! Thank you so much! It brings me so much joy to share these places with everyone. I love to live vicariously through others and see the places I likely won't get to in this lifetime :)
Much love to you
@@AprilAdventuring Oh yes, we really live also through others when we share. Even more when we get feedback. Choosen action brings happiness, especially when we love it. Much love, Matthias
@AprilAdventuring i clicked on your channel to see more of the 74 Dodge van, what happened to it?
This makes me even more sad that I got sick the weekend I was supposed to go camping and hiking in Utah a couple weeks ago. 😭 I love how there aren't a ton of people on the trails. Thanks for sharing these stunning views with us! 💚
Noooo, you have to be kidding me! 😩 You've gotta reschedule and make it out there! I'm so sorry you ended up being sick. I do hope you make it when you're feeling better
@@AprilAdventuring It was rough. 😞 Now, I'm too busy with work so I'll have to put it off until May. Sigh. Here's hoping this body of mine - and the weather - will cooperate.
Simply unmatched scenery my friend! Breathtaking scenery!
Many thanks, Ervin! Capitol Reef truly is stunning! :)
Appreciate your support as always, friend!
My mother grew up just south of Torrey on a ranch the family still owns. Capitol Reef is my favorite Utah park. Been there over 1000 times, even though I live in Connecticut. My great-grandfather was one of the founders of Torrey. Thanks for letting me know the scenic drive (which was Highway 24 until it was moved to follow the Fremont River in 1962) will be closed. I was planning to drive it when I'm out there in June.
That's incredible, Gerald! Thank you so much for sharing. I'm amazed you've been to Capitol Reef so many times -- I wish I could say the same. It's absolutely breath-taking! :)
Glad to have been helpful and I hope ou have a wonderful trip in June
Awesome April Adventuring! Putting together the details for our trip. These help tremendously. We will drive to Moab and use that as a base camp for 3 days, and then to the west side of the state and camp for another week or so, before heading home.
Have fun, Kevin! That sounds like an amazing trip! Moab is a serious bucket list destination with endless places to explore. You really can't go wrong. :)
Have an incredible and safe trip!!
Awesome video to watch on my day off. Looks like you had an amazing trip!!
Ooh, perfect way to spend a day off! And thank you -- I had an incredible trip! I want to go back already :)
Thank you for watching!
I was in Capitol Reef just after you this year! I did the Lower Muley Twist Loop on the south end of the park! Capitol Reef is becoming one of my favorite national parks! Looks like you had a good visit! I will have to check out Capitol Gorge, I have not been in that area. Thanks for the preview!
That's awesome! I agree Capitol Reef is a sleeper NP, there are so many great places to explore there. Happy trails, Christian!
Eeeeee….. So exciting to see another video! A great stop on your trip for sure. But OMGosh! Bryce Canyon is my favorite place EVER so I am officially jealous! And excited to see your next video!
Ahh thank you so much! Bryce Canyon was sooo beautiful. It exceeded all expectations! I can't wait to go back again someday :)
Just noticed I have a video to catch up on on your channel too. Can't wait to see it!
