    We just went to Capital Reef last week; it was awesome! Visitor Center was closed but pretty much all the hikes were open easy to social distance. Had a great time! Stayed at Capital Reef Resort which was really nice.

      Very cool! Glad you had a great time at the park. That Capitol Reef Resort looked very interesting too. If we had stayed the night, we definitely would have booked a stay there. 👍

    We just did 4 days exploring the non paved roads of Capitol Reef down to Bullfrog. Then back up and over to Escalante. Amazing!

    • @TripAstute
      @TripAstute  Před 4 lety +1

      That's awesome! We were thinking of going to Escalante as well, but didn't get a chance. Perhaps next time! 😊

    Watching your videos as now inspired me again. Last week I got together with my friend and his family. We have started visiting any forts that we can get to. We started in Alabama’s fort Morgan, since Florida just lifted restrictions on travelers from Louisiana. We have even mapped a way to reach one that can only be accessed by boat. The first chance I get I’m hitting the parks you have posted.

    • @TripAstute

      Awesome! Glad to hear that you're able to get out and explore during these tough times. Hope you get a chance to visit the National Parks soon! 😊

    Thank you for this video and for ideas for making my own videos! I can’t wait to visit and hike a lot there for sure, what beautiful views! Looks like I have to leave a lot earlier if I want to fit it all in! 😊

    Very good video but it's a shame they did not stay longer. We spent two days there and there was still a lot to explore. We did the Cassidy Arch trail. Somewhat difficult but there were people with children up there. We were in our late 60's. The park sells itself so I will deal with nearby amenities. We stayed at the Days Inn Wyndham. Not glorious but fine for overnight. Lots of places to eat and pick up snacks in Torrey. I can't find the name of the restaurant we ate at several times but there were many local vehicles there and I believe it was located at 150 E. Main. The Bakery General Store has all you needs. A fun place to shop. We came in from Bryce and the backboard between them is described as the most beautiful drive in America. Very close from the things I have seen.

    • @TripAstute
      @TripAstute  Před 2 lety

      Thank you! I wish we had more time as well. It's such an incredible place to explore. 😎

      Trip Astute it’s been a bunch of replanting but it looks like a go.

    What time did you go to the Gifford House? Everyone says get there early (for pie), but we will not make it to the park until around 11:00 am. Is that too late? Thanks!

    • @TripAstute
      @TripAstute  Před 3 lety

      I think it should be ok. We went in the mid-afternoon, and they still had plenty of pie. Though it might be because we visited during the off-season. 😊

    Is Last week of February too cold to visit capital reef national park?

    • @TripAstute
      @TripAstute  Před 3 lety +1

      It depends on the actual weather conditions. I would check with the National Parks website on the actual road conditions before heading in. If it's just a temperature issue, I suggest wearing lots of layers so you can adjust to the various climates.

      Yeah, we were a bit short of time. Would love to go back and check out Cathedral Valley too. It looked like an amazing dirt road loop. 👍
