Message from Bree

Capitol Reef National Park is home to thousands of years of history with amazing petroglyphs etched and engraved into the red sandstone walls by the Fremont and Ancestral Puebloan people between 600 - 1300 A.D. Visitors come to explore this fascinating area and see these ancient inscriptions that tell stories about the lives of those who called Capitol Reef National Park home. Visitors can take a walk down the boardwalk and get up close to some of the most impressive carvings, or use their imagination and figure out what they think the etchings mean. It's an incredible journey as travelers step back in time and soak in the mystery of these petroglyphs that are still making waves today.
