Our guide, Patrick, was outstanding--he shared rich history of the canyon and took us to incredible spots. Bruce Canyon Scenic Tours not only provides guided tours, but they also offer bike rentals, which is really cool. You have options for different electric bikes, so you can cruise around the area at your own pace. Oscar runs the bike rental area and the front desk person, Michelle, was really helpful--she made sure we had all the info we needed. Plus, it was so convenient not to have to drive or search for parking--the shuttle took us right to each location. I highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Bryce Canyon!" Totally worth the price Note: Patrick's true Live of Bryce Canyon is reflected with everything he showed us. His knowledge is so deep it was such a wonderful day full of stories & being educated everything about the Canyon. He also is very funny and has a good sense of humor, such an enjoyable day!

As part of our quest to visit all 63 U.S. national parks, we set off on a six week road trip. I…read morehave a personal rule: I only count a national park as "visited" if I actually spend time there, hike or walk through it, and truly experience it. On this trip, we visited 14 national parks, and Capitol Reef National Park became one of the most beautiful surprises of the entire journey. The drive from Death Valley to Capitol Reef was already an adventure, with constantly changing landscapes along the way. But nothing prepared us for the moment we arrived. Suddenly, the desert opened up into an incredible world of red rock formations, towering cliffs, and colors that seemed almost impossible. It was breathtaking. Capitol Reef is a smaller national park compared to some of the giants we visited, but it has a beauty and personality all its own. In fact, it became my husband's favorite park of the entire trip. There is something about the combination of landscapes, colors, history, and peacefulness that makes this park truly special. The scenery changes dramatically throughout the park. One area is filled with the famous red rock formations, cliffs, and sandstone walls that look like they were painted by nature. Then, as you explore other areas, the landscape changes into lighter limestone formations, with shades of yellow, cream, and gray. Everywhere you look there is a different view, a different texture, and a different color. One of the unique things about Capitol Reef is the historic Fruita area, where early settlers planted orchards along the Fremont River. Today, visitors can still see these beautiful fruit groves, which feel almost magical surrounded by the desert landscape. There is also a historic building in the Fruita area where they sell homemade fruit pies, and it is incredibly popular for a reason. The pies are absolutely delicious. We could not resist and enjoyed having pie and ice cream one morning for breakfast. When you are traveling, sometimes breakfast rules become a little more flexible! The park also has fascinating history, including ancient petroglyphs left by the Fremont people. Seeing these markings carved into the rock walls was a powerful reminder that people have been connected to this landscape for thousands of years. The hiking was another highlight. I especially enjoyed hiking through the Narrows, where I was able to explore on my own and experience the beauty and quiet of the canyon. Walking through the towering walls, surrounded by the colors and textures of the desert, was unforgettable. Capitol Reef feels like nature's own painting. The reds, oranges, yellows, blues, turquoise, and greens all come together to create a landscape that is constantly changing depending on the light. It is a park that invites you to slow down, look around, and appreciate the incredible creativity of the natural world. Capitol Reef may not always get the same attention as Utah's more famous parks, but it deserves it. It is beautiful, peaceful, full of history, and absolutely worth the visit.

This is an amazing national park. One thing I noted about the park is that it offers things for…read morepeople to do regardless of their activity level. If you're super fit and want to do hikes, good for you as there's plenty of strenuous hikes! If you aren't as active or use a mobility assistive device, you can travel on the very, very scenic drive and also learn about the ghost town of Fruita (although the NPS employees live there). If you time your visit right, you can even pick fruits from the orchards. I combined the Rim Overlook trail with the trail to Hickman Bridge to get amazing views, as well as hiked the Cassidy Arch trail. The trails weren't too crowded, so it was a great place to listen to nature and focus on hiking. You're rewarded with amazing views. Definitely hit up Gifford Homestead for fruit pies. They often sell out in the afternoon.

There are restrooms attached to the main building with showers, toilets, and sink/mirrors. There's also a dish washing space for longer stays. The camp site had decent shade and grass area to put your tent on. There were a couple picnic tables for use as well. There are free-roaming peacocks that are beautiful but are definitely loud in the morning! We went in July which is really hot for the hot springs, but it was nice since it wasn't busy! We had our soak time from 8-10pm which was great to view the sunset and soak while the air cooled off. It's such a unique hot spring location with bathtubs and larger pools. The owner walked around and made sure everyone was comfortable and was super friendly. I liked that they weren't sulfur hot springs so you didn't stink after! The negative reviews here seem like they didn't read the website that explained what to expect. I appreciate the websites honesty in keeping this location rustic and authentic, while acknowledging there are things they could improve. Knowing you're not going to a five-star location would be beneficial. The small business aspect played a huge role, in having great hospitality and a very friendly atmosphere. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, thank you!

This is the place that we've stopped at for the night. Typical middle of nowhere small hotel in a small town. The room is clean enough and so is the bathroom. However, there were no toilet paper or tissue paper provided in the bathroom. (Also the lack of the usual complimentary shampoo,soap). Went and asked front desk for it, and they quickly went to get the paper. It's on a street full of other hotels. Average hotel for a rest stop if you're on a cross-country tour and just need a place to stay at Richfield. I believe the price for one night is about $110ish. There's an indoor pool that closes at 10 and a supposed reputable steakhouse that closes at about the same time. Mcdonalds is just down the street if you need a quick bite to eat! P.S Wi-fi is free in your room and it isn't bad :]

The woman was requesting a refund for a mistake that the hotel made, something about her booking a pet friendly room in advance but upon arrival there were not left. She very reasonably asked to be refunded for the hotel's mistake and the man at the desk took no time to start yelling. She kept asking normal questions, and he refused to answer them, also refusing to share his name when she asked. This lasted for about 5 mins. I'm not sure how it ended but it was truly disturbing to witness and made me incredibly uneasy to be staying there knowing he was the only one on duty. Would not recommend this hotel to anyone else and certainly will never be staying here again myself. *update, read through other reviews after posting this initially to see there's other incidences of a male employee yelling at female customers. I reported last night's instance to corporate Best Western, but it's even more appalling to learn this behavior has occurred before and he's still working there.
