Capitol Reef National Park is a spectacular national park in south-central Utah. It receives far less visitors than Zion and Arches National Park. On my hikes I only encountered a few other hikers. I stayed in Torrey and only visited the area around the visitor centre on Highway 24. Capitol Reef National Park is huge, covering an area of nearly 1,000 square km, and I plan to go back one day to explore some remote corners of the park.

These photos were taken along the Golden Throne trail in Capitol Reef National Park, one of the most beautiful hikes in the park.
