Sunset in the park
Two of the most impressive panoramic views in Capitol Reef National Park can be found immediately after the park entrance, accessed by following a small branch off the main road: Goosenecks and Sunset Point Overlook. The first point, just a short 5-minute walk away, offers a wonderful view of the valley below, with its beautiful rocks and river. Proceeding along the bumpy dirt road will lead you to Sunset Point (a 15 minute walk from the parking lot), the best spot to watch the sunset, when the rocky peaks of the park are colored fiery red.
