Capitol Reef, which was first declared a National Park 1971, is an approximately 93 mile long rock formation stretching north-south across Utah.

Our tour leads into this enormous rock fault because a part of this gorge, known as Waterpocket Fold, is accessible to all kinds of vehicles before reaching an extensive network of trails. By way of moderate climbs with beautiful views, we reach the first part of the stretch known as “the Portal of Capitol Reef”, in order to ride on a winding off-road stretch at the very bottom of the gorge following the course of the river.

Since the course of the river here is relatively flat, you will experience an entertaining endurance phase. On the way back out of the gorge, the trail skirts alongside steep rock faces.

Taking various inclines beyond the gorges we follow the route north towards the reef-like rock. In the second road stretch outside the actual National Park, we ride again through the steep rock faces and reach an area with rock formations so unusual they defy description. A good incentive to explore this region.
