Description

One of the first rock formations you come upon when entering Capitol Reef National Park from the west is Chimney Rock, a 400-foot towering sandstone pillar alongside the highway. So it was one of the first things I saw my first morning at the park after long months of the infamous 2020-2021 'lockdown'. What a feast for the eyes! The rocks in this formation date to about 245 million years ago. Capitol Reef National Park lies in Utah’s south-central desert, an oasis of colorful sandstone cliffs, impressive domes, and soaring monoliths. The Park got its name in part from the great white rock formations which resemble the U.S. Capitol building. The area was designated as a national monument in 1937 and reclassified as a national park in 1971.
