Capitol Reef National Park





Flipping heck the world is beautiful and amazing!  There are so many spectacular sights all created without any touch of human hand.  Capitol Reef is no exception: a nearly 100-mile long warp in the Earth's crust, the Waterpocket Fold.  “The Waterpocket Fold formed between 50 and 70 million years ago when a major mountain building event in western North America, reactivated an ancient buried fault. When the fault moved, the overlying rock layers were draped above the fault and formed a monocline.”
