Fodor's Expert Review Utah Scenic Byway 24
Outside Capitol Reef National Park
Scenic Drive
Fodor's Choice
For 75 miles between Loa and Hanksville, you'll cut right through Capitol Reef National Park. Colorful rock formations in all their hues of red, cream, pink, gold, and deep purple extend from one end of the route to the other. The closer you get to the park the more colorful the landscape becomes. The vibrant rock finally gives way to lush green hills and the mountains west of Loa.
