Petroglyphs near Fruita in Capitol Reef National Park, Utah, United States

There"s something timeless about Capitol Reef National Park—a place where red rock cliffs, winding canyons and ancient stories come together under Utah"s desert sky. Designated a national park in 1971, Capitol Reef invites reflection—not just on its vivid geology, but on the ancient narratives and cultural heritage etched into its landscape.
