About this map

Capitol Reef National Park and Fishlake National Forest converge in this high-desert landscape, where the Fremont River and Sulphur Creek have carved deep canyons through the rock. The settlement of Fruita sits along the Scenic Drive, serving as a focal point for a network of trails including the Sunset Point Trl and Fremont Gorge Overlook Trl.

Topographic features like Chimney Rock, The Castle, and the Goosenecks highlight the erosion patterns of the Waterpocket Fold. Transportation through the area is dominated by Utah 24, which follows the natural drainage of Holt Draw and skirts the massive Meeks Mesa. The map captures a transition from the elevated Miners Mtn down into the narrow corridors of Guts Canyon and Chimney Rock Canyon, detailing the complex topography that defines this section of Wayne County.
