Description
A gorgeous picnic spot along the Fremont River in Capitol Reef National Park. This spot is beside the Fremont River, surrounded by cottonwood trees and the red rock of southern Utah. Be sure to stop at the Gifford Farmhouse to buy a freshly made fruit pie, and then sit at a picnic table to enjoy your treat! Then take a drive down the Capitol Reef Scenic Drive. It's a great way to spend a day or even just an afternoon!
From nps.gov: "The area of Capitol Reef has been a homeland to people for thousands of years. Archaic hunters and gatherers migrated through the canyons. Fremont Culture solidified around 500 CE, from food foraging groups, to farmers of corn, beans and squash. Petroglyphs etched in rock walls and painted pictographs remain as sacred remnants of the ancient Indians' saga. Explorers, Mormon pioneers and others arrived in the 1800s, settling in what is now the Fruita Rural Historic District. They planted and nurtured orchards of apples, pears, and peaches."
The Capitol Reef and Fruita area is a beautiful area of orchards, red rock, flowing river, and gorgeous blue skies.
