Southwest Road Trip /Lower south desert overlook. Capitol Reef National Park preserves its spectacular eroded jumble of colorful cliffs, massive domes, soaring spires, stark monoliths, twisting canyons, and graceful arches. It is a place where Indians hunted and farmed for more than 1000yrs and later, where Mormon pioneers settled to raise their families. It is the inspiration for poets, artists, photographers, and those who seek only to recreate themselves in the solitude and splendor of its vastness. Miles of unpaved roads lead into remote areas of the Waterpocket Fold country that was once of interest only to cowboys, geologists, miners, and sheepherders.
