Description
The large cottonwood tree known as the Mailbox Tree along the scenic drive in Capitol Reef National Park has many large knots on its trunk. This tree, with its companion cottonwood, are the centerpiece of a lovely picnic area near the Visitor Center in Capitol Reef.
From Utah.com: "Two enormous Fremont Cottonwood trees along the road are more than a century old. The tree nearest the road served as a sturdy living "post" for residents' mailboxes. The mail carrier made the difficult journey to Hanksville over the Blue Dugway, unpaved until 1962. Across the road stood the first permanent structure in Fruita, built by Nels Johnson. Now the site is a picnic area."
