Established in 1971, Capitol Reef is one of youngest US National Parks. It is still not as busy at Zion, Arches or Canyonlands. Good accommodation is available in nearby Torrey, UT while best camping within Park is at Fruita Campground by Fremont River. There are some outstanding hiking opportunities, including Chimney Rock, Navajo Knobs and Frying Pan - Cassidy Arch loop.
