After having been to all "Mighty 5" ....Arches, Canyonlands, Zion, Bryce Canyon - Capital Reef is a must do! The least visited and reviewed makes it even better to tour. The road from Bryce is qui…Full review by Cindy R

Pulled into the park to find a jam packed lot with very little room for additional parking. After snagging a spot I went into the VC and watched the video. Was disappointed to learn the scenic drive …Full review by Lvtripplanning

Amazingly beautiful place, loved this National Park! We especially loved the yellow Cottonwoods against the red rock and quiet empty roads, very much less crowded in November! Don't miss the 55 mile…Full review by LoriA851

Capital Reef goes up to 11,000 feet. Starting elevation for many trails in Capitol Reef is around 5,000 feet (1524 meters), which can make even "easy" trails challenging for people visiting from lower elevations. You should also check directly with NPS.

Q:
My husband and I would like to take our sons to Capital Reef. HOwever, we have a 9 year old with ASD who sometimes likes to run off. Therefore, we removed Bryce and Grand Canyon from our list. Can anyone tell us of any hiking trails at this park without drop off's where if he ran he would not get hurt?

Where we drove in Capitol Reef it looked relatively flat and you looked up at the rock formations. I think if you take the road to the end there are some trails you can take from there and …

Where we drove in Capitol Reef it looked relatively flat and you looked up at the rock formations. I think if you take the road to the end there are some trails you can take from there and I think they are relatively flat. Have you been to Zion? There are trails there you can take on the valley floor.

Sorry for the delay in responding....Trip Advisor no longer sends questions to us....I just happened to see your question while deleting messages. I cannot answer your question specifically....during that time of year it could be a problem. HOWEVER....I would recommend that you call Carlton Hotel in Salt Lake City...1-800-633-3500. They could, possibly, give you a better answer. We were there last fall on a VERY busy weekend ...the semi-annual Morman convention. The hotel is 2 blocks from the Morman complex and the hotel was not busy. Paid $79.00 per night and had 2 bedrooms and kitchenette. Hot breakfast in morning. Park City & Olympic Park about 35 minute drive from hotel. See my reviews of both areas on TA.
