6The Capitol Reef Visitor Center
You can find the Capitol Reef Visitor Center in the park’s Fruita District. It is open all year. Be sure to spend time there before going anywhere in the park.
Inside the center, you’ll see several different helpful informational displays. There’s also a museum focused on the area’s history and the local geology. This is also the place where you can talk to the National Park Service rangers and get current information on the road conditions and the status of the hiking trails as well. You can also get brochures, gifts, maps, and get your national park passport stamped. If you’re vacationing with children, be sure to see the family-friendly Ripple Rock Nature Center as well.
