The Bentonite Hills, located just outside of Capitol Reef National park in Utah, offer an exciting adventure for anyone with a high clearance vehicle. Boasting an array of colors from browns to purples and greens, this colorful geologic layer has been formed by repeated cycles of water absorption and evaporation over millions of years. Travellers here can explore the fascinating geological landscape and be rewarded with views of vast rock formations. There is no hiking trail here, but visitors should stay on the roads and try not to scar the delicate surface of this land. A true remote adventure awaits at the Bentonite Hills!
