The south district of Capitol Reef National Park or Waterpocket Fold district encompasses the largest defining feature in the park and most visitors have no idea what it is.  The nearly 100 mile long monocline is the longest in the western hemisphere.  This “step-up” or warp in the rock layers showcase dramatic geological formations that must be seen to appreciate.  

Equally or even more impressive than the north district, the Waterpocket Fold offers diverse landscapes and geologic wonders.  This tour should be your top 1 or 2 locations to visit before leaving Capitol Reef!
