Capitol Reef National Park is known as Utah's sleeper National Park. But it's definitely not one to sleep through (or miss). We hiked, had a picnic lunch, stopped in the Visitor's Center, and hiked again. Our legs are well exercised and so are our eyes. Every switchback on the trails reveal another sight at which to gasp. And the rocks in desert colors of ochre, beige, charcoal and sand are carved in shapes that have been named Golden Throne, Fern's Nipples, Navajo Knobs, Chimney Rock as well as Capitol Dome. Just let your imagination go and you can see a whale or a rabbit.
