Once the only access road to Capitol Reef National Park, Capitol Gorge provides a harsh and beautiful stone causeway that opens up into a world of bizarre and varied stone formations, desert washes both narrow and wide, and the types of plants common in the high desert – stunted trees like pinyon pine and Utah juniper, prickly pear cactus, the brilliant orange of globemallows and striking red of desert paintbrush.
And then a sight that is unfathomable in the desert: the delicate, showy blossoms of fruit trees. The blooming and fruiting trees create a strange and wonderful picture set against the magnificent cliffs and rocks of the high desert.
