Capitol Gorge

Uploaded: March 30, 2011

Description

Capitol Gorge follows the Capitol Wash through the Waterpocket Fold of Capitol Reef National Park, Utah going from the south end of the Scenic Drive to the town of Notom on the east. Through the Fold, Capitol Gorge becomes deep and narrow, with several sections of almost slot-like proportions.

This was the principal route through the national park until Highway 24 was built in 1964. The gorge takes visitors past Petroglyph panels, a pioneer register, and the famous waterpockets or water tanks.

Have a Great Day

Thank you very much Tammy, Ellen, Bobby, Amy, Ray, Monnie and Jack!
Yes, the weather not just overhead but long-range must be watched in this area. Flash floods can come very quickly from anywhere! #9328130

I can imagine the thrill of driving this road through the gorge..what a great place...you captured it well, Denny! The flash flood warning, and reality of it, would be a bit unnerving though. Guess you need to carry an inflatable lifeboat in the car. Or at least a life jacket. A canoe on top of the car? Something...LOL. #9328843

Love the look and color of that stone, and your very inviting inclusion of the path, Denny. I really want to take off a month to travel from Moab to Sringdale. What an amazing state and your photos from it are outstanding and enticing. #9335778
