Capitol Reef Natural History Association Cathedral Valley offers scenes unlike any other in Capitol Reef National Park. Road conditions can vary greatly depending on recent changes in weather, so check at the visitor center for current road and weather conditions before starting your trip. This tour to Cathedral Valley is a 58 mile loop that begins at River Ford. Most visitors will agree that the upward-sweeping, tapering lines, and three dimensional surfaces remind them of Gothic architecture, and that Cathedral Valley is a suitable name for your visit to this land of grand, free-standing monoliths and extrordinary rock forms.
