Capitol Reef National Park comprises 378 square miles of colorful canyons, ridges, buttes, and monoliths. The park preserves about 75 miles of the long geological up-thrust called the Waterpocket Fold. Capitol Reef National Park is named for especially rugged and spectacular sandstone domes in the Waterpocket Fold that resemble capitol building domes. On August 2, 1937, President Roosevelt signed a proclamation creating Capitol Reef National Monument. "An Act to Establish The Capitol Reef National park in the State of Utah" - became Public Law 92-207 when it was signed by President Nixon on December 18, 1971. |
