BEST TIME TO VISIT CAPITOL REEF

camping in Capitol Reef National Park. In the park’s more mountainous areas,
visitors may get a chance to see snow.
Spring
In lower
elevations at Capitol Reef, the spring season moves in a little earlier than
higher elevations. As temperatures begin to rise, the park is filled with
blooming flora.
Summer
One of the
busier times at the park is during the summer season. Summertime is also the
monsoon season at Capitol Reef. The heavy
downpours during the summer can result in ephemeral waterfalls.
