Fodor's Expert Review Fremont River Trail

Capitol Reef National Park Trail

What starts as a quiet little stroll beside the river turns into an adventure. The first 0.3 miles of the trail wanders past orchards next to the Fremont River. After you pass through a narrow gate, the trail changes personality and you're in for a steep climb on an exposed ledge with drop-offs. The views at the top of the 480-foot ascent are worth it. It's 2.1 miles round-trip; allow 90 minutes. Moderate.
