This is probably the least-visited of Utah's five National Parks. But it has great places inside. Our two faves were (a) the Grand Wash walk (towering, sheer, close walls, and if a flash flood comes …Full review by KLE_Ridgefield

Amazing park with great hiking trails and very quiet and remote. If you truly want to get away and unplug go see this place.Full review by FrequentFlier762850

A must have is the pie at the homestead. Delicious! The cinnamon roll was not very good, dry but had good icing. This park is smaller than Zion and Bryce but is worth visiting. There are some easy…Full review by Terri N
What are the elevations on the main route through Capital Reef? I use a Portable Oxygen Concentrator and should not go above 8,000 feet. Thanks, Bill

Capital Reef goes up to 11,000 feet. Starting elevation for many trails in Capitol Reef is around 5,000 feet (1524 meters), which can make even "easy" trails challenging for people visiting from lower elevations. You should also check directly with NPS.
My husband and I would like to take our sons to Capital Reef. HOwever, we have a 9 year old with ASD who sometimes likes to run off. Therefore, we removed Bryce and Grand Canyon from our list. Can anyone tell us of any hiking trails at this park without drop off's where if he ran he would not get hurt?

Where we drove in Capitol Reef it looked relatively flat and you looked up at the rock formations. I think if you take the road to the end there are some trails you can take from there and I think they are relatively flat. Have you been to Zion? There are trails there you can take on the valley floor.
We are driving from Moab to Torrey/Capital Reef and then a few days later to Park City/SLC. We have several hotels booked - but a couple days we want to be open to our plans with our 2 kids. Will we be able to find something i(hotel/motel) n June without having reserved in advance during this high season?

Sorry for the delay in responding....Trip Advisor no longer sends questions to us....I just happened to see your question while deleting messages. I cannot answer your question specifically....during that time of year it could be a problem. HOWEVER....I would recommend that you call Carlton Hotel in Salt Lake City...1-800-633-3500. They could, possibly, give you a better answer. We were there last fall on a VERY busy weekend ...the semi-annual Morman convention. The hotel is 2 blocks from the Morman complex and the hotel was not busy. Paid $79.00 per night and had 2 bedrooms and kitchenette. Hot breakfast in morning. Park City & Olympic Park about 35 minute drive from hotel. See my reviews of both areas on TA.
