Capitol Reef National Park is full of natural wonders, and it will take you several days just to scratch the surface of everything the 241,904-acre park has to offer.
Stay nearby at Red River Ranch, where you'll experience some of the best the West has to offer: a large, log cabin-style lodge with luxurious furnishings, 2,000 acres of pasture, and a herd of American bison!
Capitol Reef National Park and the area around it epitomizes the West - vast expanses of open land, towering red cliffs and rock formations, and a big, blue sky above it all. Plan your trip to include at least a week to explore this part of Utah.
For accommodations, head to Red River Ranch in Teasdale. It sits right on the doorstep of Capitol Reef, and it offers an experience unlike any other.
The expansive property includes 2,000 acres of pasture, which is home to a herd of American bison.
Thousands of bison once roamed this land. Red River Ranch raises these majestic creatures, and you can get an up-close look at them.
Stay on your side of the fence - these guys are big, and you don't want to cross a cranky one. Hang out and watch them for awhile, and don't forget your camera. It's not every day that you see a herd of bison!
The lodge was built in the fashion of a grand, Old Western lodge. Its log exterior and soaring ceilings are stunning, and it's filled with eclectic furnishings.
The three-story Great Room is the perfect place to relax with a book, play a game, or visit with friends.
Snuggle into one of the lodge's 15 guest rooms. Each unique room includes a wood-burning fireplace, and antique furniture.
In the morning, head to Cliffside, the lodge's restaurant, for a hearty breakfast, made to order. If you're getting ready for a day of exploration at Capitol Reef, ask them to pack you a lunch to take along.
Red River Ranch has welcomed guests for more than three decades. Check it out for yourself!
