Relaxed, scenic trail in Capitol Reef National Park heading to a large natural arch & river views.
Slide 1 of 8
Moderate hike me and my wife took our time and it took just over an hour. You can go to the bridge and back, or you can go to the bridge under the bridge and walk around the backside. As a loop, pretty cool little hike. Not too bad. Well, marked, when you go on the backside. Stay tight to the wall. And you'll see the left back to the beginning. I would recommend this hike to anyone if they want to be adventurous, but not go too far off the beaten path.
LAND R — Google review
I went there for a quick run and got done in 28 minutes. It had families and couple spaced throughout the trail. The trail is a 2 mile out and back. There is about 475 feet of elevation gain. Make sure you use wide angle on your pictures at the bridge.
Greg K — Google review
Beautiful hike, moderate effort, trail is marked well. Bring water. We saw a bighorn sheep on the opposite rock walls.
Terri M — Google review
Great hike with beautiful views from the start. The bridge is 133 feet long. The trail is about 2 miles out and back with 400 feet elevation change. The biggest incline is in the beginning of the trail. Decent size of the parking lot and the bathroom at the trail head.
Kaja S — Google review
Fun trail but not very well marked. When you get near the top it appears that recent rock falls have forced a change in the path. Ended up hiking down in the dark with flashlights. We had fun, but we enjoy this stuff. Signs are misleading with the distance. I tracked almost 2 miles one way. No pics of the arch since it was dark.

Easy to Moderate difficulty level hiking trail 🥾 This trail is located in the Capital Reef National Park! After having visited 12+ National Parks during our roadtrip, we realized this is the most underrated park 🏞️ The changing landscape offers beautiful views on the way 😍 The trail is well maintained and has great views. The Hickman Bridge is one of the best arches we saw on our Utah roadtrip. Definitely worth visiting this National Park and doing this hike.😊
Rachana E — Google review
We were at Capitol Reef national Park for a brief visit. This was the one trail that we did. It gave some great views of the park as well as of course the bridge at the end. Definitely would recommend.

Pretty easy hike- family friendly for the whole crew. Small kids might need a carry, but kids 6+ will probably be fine. Bring water! It’s a short hike, but it has some grades and gets hot. Some shade, but largely open to the sun. Wear sun protection.

David H — Google review
If you are traveling on the scenic biway 12 or in the area to visit Capitol Reef, this is a quick roadside attraction stop. There are 2 main areas to see the petroglyphs that are fading away with each decade. The Easter most glyphs are on a wooden pathway that is about 200 yards long. Saddly, the glyphs at the end seem to have broken off as there is a rock on the ground. It looks like they maybe had some but has been washed away over the years. The main area to see the glyphs is right by the parking lot. Make sure you have a camera with a good zoom if you want good pictures of these as they are at the base of the canyon wall.
Adam C — Google review
They have some binoculars set up, it’s definitely better if you look through those or bring your own. They’re pretty cool and if you do t have a lot of time, it’s quick and definitely worth the stop. I wish the signs were a little more clear especially when it comes to if there is anything to look for at the end of the boardwalk.

This spot is about 50 ft from the parking lot, so an easy walk for everyone, there was only the one panel that I saw, so not the best I've seen, but well worth the stop.

Great little spot. The place itself is a bit small but what else would you expect, it's part of the charm. Very cool little gifts and things to buy. Has a small museum in one of the rooms. They sell some very yummy fruits and jams. The pies are amazing. Home made and delicious. Easy to find, not sure why others can't, must be a personal issue navigating a map.
Vic — Google review
The pies are amazing, especially for only $8.50. But they close for lunch and some of the items are ridiculously expensive, like $54 for a wooden spoon. There are picnic tables right outside to sit and eat or the picnic area just before the homestead.
Brandon D — Google review
Great pie and National Parks. A pairing that is a great idea. They also have limited quantities of cinnamon rolls and sourdough bread. At least that's what the label on the empty case says. Pie flavors include apple, strawberry rhubarb, mixed berry, peach, and cherry. We tried cherry, peach (pictured), and strawberry rhubarb. They were all very tasty and the crust was flaky and delicious. I wish I could have more great pie like these at other national parks!
Teresa F — Google review
*NOTE: no fruit this year (2025) because all the blossoms froze in the spring. They still make and sell pies but they’re not made with Capitol Reef fruit. So cute, love the nods to pioneer life and culture. These people built sustainably before it was cool. They used but also enriched the land through proper land management. So much respect for these early settlers that carved out a life here!
Rachel Q — Google review
Get here as early as you can. There was a line out the door at 9:00 a.m., when they opened. They sell outof their pies much earlier than 4:30. The pies are tasty and pretty sweet. The pies are not made at site, but are driven there and dropped off in the morning. The pie filling for some of the pies isn't fresh, but canned filling.
Rachel B — Google review
We like most people, stopped in here for the pies, and was it worth the stop, they were amazing and well worth the $8,there are shaded parks around the house, so you can sit and enjoy you plunder with a light breeze comforting you as you rest after you day of hiking and sightseeing.
Allan C — Google review
The mixed berry pie was very delicious; the filling and crust were perfectly baked. We also bought bread and jams to take home. Even though we had to wait because they were closed for lunch when we arrived, we were happy to stop by.

This canyon is fascinating and unique. I started in Fruits across from the cute old house that sells home baked pies, and baked goods. The trail head is on the opposite side of the road of the pie place and further down the road towards the barn. You know when you find it for it is well marked right off the road. It starts with a series of switch backs to climb up the mountain. The views of the barn and the campground and some beautiful Capitol Reef cliffs are beautiful, but the thing I liked the most was how the switchbacks were so carefully and beautifully crafted. Someone took some great pride in doing an amazing job making this trail so nice. When you finally get to the top of the switchbacks you are at a base of a tall vertically rock slab. You walk along the bae and then this gorgeous canyon opens up. I seriously had my jaw drop open for I did not expect it to be so pretty. This canyon has unique holes in the cliff walls creating interesting shapes. It is called Cohab canyon after the cohabitation. In the early days of the Church of Jesus Christ of LDS there a lot more women that felt the spirit about the truthfulness of the teachings. During this time period of women having no rights, and trying to settle in a area with no nearby towns and hostile Indians, if was crucial that these excess women had a man that would protect them and care for them. That is why some men in the Church of Jesus Christ of LDS were asked to care for more than 1 wife. The US government found out and sent military to kill these men (which would have left the women and children in a very scary life threatening situation.). The men head up to this canyon that has hundreds of places to hide. There are narrow slot canyons, ledges, and caves. That are perfect places to hide. So that is how to got it's name is because if safely hid many men that were trying to provide for an extra women so they not only could have food, means, and home, but also not be withheld from enjoying the blessings of family and children. Gorgeous place, and very fun to count how many hiding places you can find. It also has a really nice Hoodoo. Highly recommended hike. #LetsGuide #CapitolReef

The views are unbelievable. It’s amazing how far you can see in all directions. The trail is easy even for a fat guy like me. Be careful near the edges, some are sheer drop offs with loose ground around. The wind whips up there, feels good. A must for those looking for an easy hike.

Very easy 1/3mile trail. Startedtrail at 19:00 with 2 kids (6 & 4 yrs old) and get to the point at 19:10. it was just 10 minutes trail,but view was a lot better than panorama point. Took a kids picture with beautiful sunset for 25 minutes and get back to parking lot at 19:45. i do recomend this place!!

You can drive past Panorama Point to Goosenecks and Sunset Point - very short and manageable walks to both. Sunset Point was one of the more impressive vistas that we have seen in the US National Parks, and is highly recommended. Make sure you climb up on the rocks there for the best view.
Ryan S — Google review
Short hike and worth the views. Even with clouds the sun hit multiple cliff faces and gave stark shadowing. Showed up an hour before sunset and not many people were there, we left about 30 minutes prior to sunset and it was getting pretty packed.

Wayne J — Google review
A quick roadside stop to make on Rt 24 towards the east end of Capital Reef National Park is the historic Behunin Cabin situated beside the road. This one room cabin was built by and for the Elijah Bahunin family in 1882. You can't enter the cabin but can walk around it and peer into its windows. There is an information sign on site so you can learn about their building. Difficult to imagine that Elijah, his wife and perhaps 11 of his 13 children resided in this small single room dwelling. In the end, this is a quick 3-5 minute stop to see an early Settler cabin, something that will be interesting to those who appreciate history and architecture.

If you follow the trail counterclockwise as instructed the first part is steep but relatively short. You get a good view of the chimney from above. Then you can just go back the way you came but if you're up for a good but fairly easy hike follow the loop around for a 3.5 ish mile mostly downhill hike. Good views and few people. Worth the time
Rob D — Google review
Wow, what a great 3 mile hike. Has some good climbing at the 1st about 625 ft to the top of the Mesa. Then you walk the ridge and get amazing views. I think I saw people in ages from 6-60s. The 1st 1 miles is pretty steep and is made up of steps and switchbacks.

Awesome moderate hike. I think it's in the top five in national Park hikes in the country. Do the entire loop. There is a variety of scenery along the way. Great parking lot to leave vehicle.

Nice 3 mile hike on the Chimney trail. Start counterclockwise and get the steepest part out of the way right away. But it is a loop, so whatever you go up in elevation, you eventually go down.
Crazy F — Google review
Lots of comments concerning the direction of the loop, I don't think it matters much. The views are great either way. If you have trouble with joints, then descending the steep portion will be difficult, so do the loop counter clockwise. The trail surface was great, generally smooth and easy hiking. Just a few places that were more rocky and rugged. This is just a nice hike with good views.

Wayne J — Google review
One of the interesting things to see along the Capital Gorge Trail is the Pioneer Register, which is a stretch of sandstone wall where early travellers recorded their names after passing through the gorge. Here you can make out names and dates from the 1880s to early 20th century, mixed in with more recent and unfortunate graffiti. There are a fair number of traveller names to view and take pictures of if interested. Note: You can also find petroglyphs from the Fremont people who lived in this area between 600 and 1300 AD, not far from the trailhead parking lot. Unfortunately, time has done these images no favours and they are in rather poor condition. Both the Pioneer Register and the much earlier petroglyphs are worth spending a few minutes during your hike of the Capital Gorge. Enjoy them and take a few snapshots and then continue onward into the gorge.

It was ok. Not really what we expected. There's really just one wall with some writing, which is kind of cool. But, if you want to do something else and are trying to choose what to do, I'd save this for another time. Simple, but a lot of rocks on the trail.
