GEOLOGY and HISTORIC SITES of CAPITOL REEF NATIONAL PARK , UTAH

Join me for a look at the GEOLOGY and HISTORY of CAPITOL REEF NATIONAL PARK , UTAH.
We will hike Hickman Bridge Trail (the most popular trail in the park), learn about the geology of the park at the Visitor Center and in the field, and learn about the earliest settlers, the Fremont People and about Fruita, the town founded in 1880 by the Mormon settlers.

Truly an amazing national park and it was so empty even on the 4th holiday. I hope you all get to visit it someday.

I visited 5 national parks in one trip and this one was my last one. I was blown away at how beautiful it is.

I'm so in love with geology and hiking, so I love videos about them, especially if they're combined. I so much appreciate that you teach viewers about the geology of the national parks, so please continue to do more of them!!

Awesome breakdown of the rock and hill formations. The petroglyph site. Great tour thanks for showing

[@earthandtime5817]

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. Such an amazing place.

Amazing simply amazing

Thank you! Cheers!

I would really like to visit this amazing place. I won't be able to travel away from home for a while so living vicariously through your channel. There's not enough relevant geology information in this format. So glad to have a geologist explain natural science and making fun as well. You're definitely a natural educator.

[@earthandtime5817]

Thank you so much. I am happy that I am able to share my adventures with you and that you can explore with me.

I'm a tour guide. Used this video to study. Thank you so much!

[@earthandtime5817]

I am happy it helps and thank you for watching.

I wish I had seen your video years ago before we visited Capitol Reef. A truly underappreciated national park and now much better understood because of your video. Thanks.

[@earthandtime5817]

Glad you enjoyed it! And thanks for sharing.

I just got back from Capitol Reef and had an amazing time. I spent a day exploring the Cathedral Loop and on my day leaving I road down Notom-Bullfrog road and went over the water pocket fold on the Burr Trail. Thank you so much for the information!!!

[@earthandtime5817]

You are welcome. What an amaxing and beautiful place. I hope to get back next year and do some more episodes at Cathedral Loop and on the Burr trail. Thank you so much for sharing!

I just visited Capitol Reef back in early May. It was the first stop on a whirlwind tour of the natural wonders of southern Utah and northern Arizona. My family always traveled south to Lake Powell for the summers, but never came through this park, and now that I have seen it, I wonder how we could have driven right past and never taken a look. The geology is fascinating and the scenery is just beautiful on top.

[@earthandtime5817]

It is one of my favorite National Parks and is still pretty undiscovered. I am glad you had a great time and thank you for sharing with us.

[@cactusface23]

whenever I plan to visit a place I always want to learn about the geology and the formation of the landscape. I plan to visit CRNP this March, so thank you for your video! Enjoyed it and learned immensely!

[@earthandtime5817]

You are welcome. So happy you enjoyed it. Please let me know how the trip goes.

[@robertterrell3065]

I've never actually visited Capitol Reef, but I've watched several videos about it. Your video is the best one overall. And I decided quite a while ago that Capitol Reef would be the first place I'd like to see if I ever get back to Utah. It's amazing. Thanks for this video :)

[@earthandtime5817]

Thank you for the kind words and I am so happy you enjoyed it. If you make it there please leave me a comment and let me know.

[@bruceso797]

Great video

[@earthandtime5817]

Thank you so much. It is an amazing place.

[@searchingforhistory]

Culturally sterile stratigraphy lol, just kidding! Your knowledge of geology is really outstanding. Something as an archaeologist I feel is my weak point. So I try to pick it up where I can. Thanks again for an informative video.

[@earthandtime5817]

Haha. Don’t be hating on us geologist just because we have so much time to work with 😉. I really appreciate the compliment. Happy to help with understanding geology anytime.

[@donnavaughn9409]

don't go here in the hot summer, you won't be able to open your car door without a handkerchief

[@earthandtime5817]

Definitely need to be careful on really hot days there. Thanks for the comment.
