Capitol Reef Scenic Vista at Capitol Reef National Park in Wayne County, Utah is an easy 0.1-mile out-and-back walk that leads to a scenic view of the Waterpocket Fold from the Capitol Reef Scenic Drive.
This is not a hike but rather a very short walk from a parking turnout and out to a scenic overlook that peers north through the valley toward Fruita, Utah. The views surrounding the scenic drive are stunning and steep rock ledges with large mesas that stretch for miles upon miles.
Parking
Hikers will find a small parking turnout at the coordinates provided, located on the western side of Capitol Reef Scenic Drive.

MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller (Founder & Admin). As the Founder, main contributor, and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my trips with over-detailed write-ups for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.
It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, site maintainance, and app development for iOS and Android . I simply ask that if you find MyHikes' trail guides helpful to please consider becoming a Supporter to help keep the site, iOS, and Android apps available to everyone.
Supporters unlock website and in-app perks with a one-time payment of $25 (you renew) 😎👍. Or you can simply make a Donation of your choice without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing - both quick and free 🎉
Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike!️
