Vote for your favorite national park in Utah!

Utah is a beautiful state.  Five reasons for this beauty are the five national parks within its boundaries.  The five National parks are Zions, Bryce, Canyonlands, Arches, and Capitol Reef.  All are located in Southern Utah and have red rocks.  Zions and Bryce are the most famous.  Canyonlands and Arches are within a few miles of each other near Moab.  Capitol Reef is located northeast of Bryce Canyon by Fish Lake.

Capitol Reef isn’t as well known as the other five parks, but is just as beautiful in its own way.  The park has stunning red cliffs, a visitor center, campground, petroglyphs, a scenic drive and hiking trails.  Two hiking trails go into the geologic formation known as the Waterpocket Fold.  These trails have steep cliffs on each side.  One has been used for decades to pass through the area and etchings can be seen on the cliffs from the 1800’s. 

Recently I visited Capitol Reef National Park with my family.  I took the picture and video while visiting.  As you can see, Capitol Reef is beautiful in the day and at sunset, too.  Head to Southern Utah and enjoy the beauty!!
