10The Sunset Point Hike
You can park your vehicle in the same lot that you’d park to see Goosenecks Overlook. This hike is easy as it is less than one mile and has an elevation gain of under 50 feet. You should be able to complete it in half an hour.
The walk from the parking lot to Sunset Point is a little bit further than the walk to the previously mentioned Goosenecks Overlook but veteran visitors say it is well worth the effort, especially right before sunset. Should you arrive at Capitol Reef sometime in the afternoon or even early evening, consider exploring popular Panorama Point and Goosenecks Overlook prior to Sunset Point at sunset in one trip.
