Overlanding & Exploring Capitol Reef National Park - Tacoma Got STUCK

Capitol Reef National Park might be one of Utah's lesser traveled national parks, but that doesn't make it any less incredible.
Continuing east on our multi-week Utah Overland adventure, we explore in and around Capitol Reef and encounter a few challenges along the way.
Come along for the adventure!

Mountain House??? The reason I started overlanding instead of backpacking was so I could carry a gourmet kitchen! That, and losing a leg in a motorcycle wreck. Capitol Reef was a lot more crowded when I was there in Sept.

[@WheretoNextOverland]

Yes, I fully admit that I'm a weirdo for liking Mountain House as much as I do. Haha.

[@wwz1011]

Agree, Capitol Reef is overlooked for sure. And SR 12 from Torrey to Bryce Canyon is the most scenic road in USA. You did miss the slot canyon on Burr Trail, its about 12 miles off SR12, well before the switch backs. And don't overlook the state parks in the area.

@@wwz1011 sounds like some good excuses to go back!

If that coffee stop was at the Kiva Koffeehouse, I agree it has amazing views and some of the bet coffee in all of Utah!

[@WheretoNextOverland]

Yep! You nailed it. It was Kiva Coffeehouse!

[@pala4833]

Really well done. Thanks for sharing.

[@WheretoNextOverland]

Thanks!!

This happened to me once but in snow... Good thing another rig came by within 5 minutes and gave me a hand!

[@WheretoNextOverland]

It can happen fast!

[@drmikemerkt]

That pie looks amazing! We also need more Corey!!

[@WheretoNextOverland]

Haha yeah I know. Corey is such a good sport for tolerating all our stop / go and filming shenanigans .... but I feel bad shoving the camera in his face.

[@drmikemerkt]

@@WheretoNextOverland which is why I think we need more commentary from him, let’s get to know Corey!

[@maxdexpeditions]

And thats triple locked! wow. We got stuck 2 weeks ago in soupy mud and I wished we had a winch. A lot of digging and we got out, we got lucky😆 If Christine doesn't like mountain house I wonder what kind of face she does when she eats MRE's especially the pizza version 🤢🤣😂

[@WheretoNextOverland]

Wait .... they have pizza MRE's??? I need to try this!! 😮 🤣

[@georgedanilov8898]

Capitol Reef is the best overlooked place for spectacular canyon country, especially in times when most famous NPs are overwhelmed with visitors That and also San Rafael Swell

[@WheretoNextOverland]

Without a doubt! We need to get up to the Swell. Still haven't made it there, but it's definitely on our list

[@georgedanilov8898]

@@WheretoNextOverland Add Robbers Roost (Dirty Devil River Wilderness) to that list as well It’s all relatively nearby, overall this is the most spectacular and remote corner of canyon country, IMHO

[@dadaking]

Great video guys. We were just there, but on the other side of the hwy

[@WheretoNextOverland]

Thanks! Incredible place, isn't it?

[@ScottyMaxx22]

Super awesome series of videos. I’m gonna start a trek similar to this in a couple weeks. We’re gonna spend a few days in Sand Hallow then hit Zion and a few other national parks.

[@WheretoNextOverland]

Thank you!! Oh man, have you been down to that part of Utah before? It's seriously mind-blowing!

[@WheretoNextOverland]

Capitol Reef is an incredible place. Such a breath of fresh air after the crowds of Zion. Have you been there? If so, what was your experience like?

[@MacDowra]

Sorry but no one gets excited about eating Mountain House

[@WheretoNextOverland]

Well, I do. Doesn't that count? 🤣

[@MacDowra]

[@OverlandPNW]

Capitol Reef is amazing. Very nice recovery work and strawberry rhubarb is always the best ha ha!

[@WheretoNextOverland]

Haha. Probably the easiest recovery of all time .... but we don't get anywhere near the practice you do, so it was good to put some of our gear to use. Mixed berry for life!

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

So many incredible views and experiences in this video, but the pie stole the show! Definitely adding this area to my list of places to visit

[@WheretoNextOverland]

Definitely, 100% worth checking out. Mixed Berry all day!
