8. Panorama Point

You will find Panorama Point just off Highway 24 in the Fruita District. Some say it’s one of the very best viewpoints overlooking well-known Capitol Reef. If you’re driving from Torrey, it’s the first major landmark you will come across too. This viewpoint is a great starting point for a visit to Capitol Reef. From there you can enjoy 360-degree views of the rough, scarlet landscape that gives the place its name. It certainly is memorable and worth at least a 15-minute stop!  

 

9. The Goosenecks Overlook Walk

Spend half an hour visiting Goosenecks Overlook in the Fruita District. Once you leave Panorama Point, stay on the gravel road until you reach this spot. This 0.2-mile round trip will require a brief, uphill walk, but it is quite manageable for the majority of travelers. Interestingly, Sulphur Creek carved out the bend here. Marvel at the stunning views of Capitol Reef’s iconic red rocks and lush greenery.
