The Red Rock country with spectacular views lies at the heart of the most stunning country imaginable. Hike, climb, ride, photograph, and tour around our wonderful backyard — Capitol Reef. Also, just up the road is famous Boulder Mountain fishing. The location is breathtaking, and the overall experience, well…unforgettable. Minutes to Capitol Reef and yet just off Scenic Byway 12, designated as one of the “World’s 10 Most Beautiful Highways.” Hammocks, fire pit, patio, stargazing and more! I've been a professional photographer for over 35 years Out of all of Utah it is my most favorite area to photograph.
Other things to note
Just minutes from Capitol Reef National Park, you can explore almost 100 miles of natural wonders, including cliffs, canyons, domes and natural bridges. From Hickman’s Bridge and Fishlake National Forest (Fish Lake) to Anasazi State Park and the Prehistoric Petroglyph, there are many other stunning sights to see and they’re all within about an hour of this serene, out-of-the way respite.
Seasonal nightlife includes local natural history, culture, and live music in nearby Torrey (4 scenic minutes -- a sweet, tree-lined village). Oh, and the fishing -- don't forget the winding Fremont River and the big brookies of the Boulder Mountains.
An area where you can delight in hiking, backpacking, canyoneering and photo tours.
