Capitol Reef National Park

Sidecountry Sisters Review: No ocean, but they have pie 2/5 stars.

Kidding!! Capitol Reef may be the closest you get to a visit to Mars. Rolling layered sandstone, curiously shaped rock (looking at you Mollie's Nipple), and vast red rock canyons...this small but dramatic park is a hidden gem you don't wanna miss! With it's seclusion from all other parks, and much of civilization for that matter, you feel like you could have a little slice of the park all to yourself. An outdoor introverts dream land.

Join us, for SCS 4th episode featuring Capitol Reef! In this episode, Dan & Cass will discuss how this land served as a hide out for some Wild West Outlaws, as well as a story about poaching in the area...OUTLAWS!
