Capitol Reef
HIckman Bridge Trail: #1 thing to do according to tripadvisor
Petroglyphs: The most pristine example of Capitol Reef petroglyphs can be seen 1.5 miles east of the visitor center on Highway 14. The parking turnout is well-marked. It’s just a short walk along the boardwalk to get to the impressive petroglyph panel. You’ll note animals they hunted, as well as human-like figures with elaborate horned headdresses. Additionally, there is another rock art panel in Capitol Gorge, as well as smaller petroglyphs in more remote destinations within the park.
Scenic Byway: "The most logical place to start is the Capitol Reef Scenic Drive, a 25-mile round trip paved road that is lined with pullouts that allow you to stop and take it all in. One highly recommended stop is the Panorama Point/Goosenecks view area, on the park’s west end. From the scenic drive, several nice, short side drives on well-maintained dirt/gravel roads can be negotiated in virtually any vehicle. The first of these, Grand Wash, is sort of like taking a Disneyland ride in your own car. The hike through the Narrows, from the trailhead at the end of the Grand Wash drive, is highly recommended. For more details on this very scenic route, as well as some backcountry drives in the park, see our Scenic Driving Guide." - https://www.visitutah.com/places-to-go/most-visited-parks/capitol-reef/must-see-capitol-reef
