Capitol Reef National Park is nestled on layers of sedimentary stone, tilted up at various angles and eroded away by wind and water. The area has received the designation as the Waterpocket Fold because the low areas collect pockets of water during rain storms. To get the most out of your time in this unique, 100-mile-long geologic feature, you may want to check out the possibility of taking a guided tour of the area. Professional and knowledgeable local individuals can provide excellent tours completed with narratives.
