I'm looking for a nice morning in hike in Capitol Reef National Park. I'll be making a pit stop there in the beginning of March and have a few hours to spare. Any recommendations?

Any help is help nonetheless!
Thanks!

Also, how much of an issue is snow?

Hickman Bridge or Cassidy Arch.

Don't miss the Gifford House for pie. I don't know if they do that year round or not.
I'm not certain, but I think that the Cherry Trees might bloom sometime in March. I don't think snow would be that big a deal but I'm not certain about that.

One of my personal favorites in Utah is Goblin Valley State Park, which is between Arches and Cap Reef. Don't miss it. Others would disagree with me, but I would see it over Cap Reef, especially with a short amount of time that you have.

The best short hike would probably be Hickman Bridge, but Cassidy Arch would certainly be nice as well. THere can be snow there, but cold is usually more likely. I've frozen at night during March spring break in the campground.

I vote for Hickman Bridge.

It was featured recently on Bing for a day.

My vote would be for Capitol Reef over Goblin Valley.

Hickman Bridge is a good hike. If you want super easy then do Capitol Gorge or Grand Wash. Don't forget to stop and see the petroglyph turnout on Hwy 24.
