Here is a landscape of thousands of feet of layered sediments and the jagged, multi-colored spectacle you see today. It is little wonder the Ute Indians called this the "Land of the Sleeping Rainbow". To stand on the breaks of Thousand Lakes Mountain or Boulder Mountain and take in the panorama of Capitol Reef, Escalante Canyons, and San Rafael Swell is indisputably an experience of a lifetime.
These trailrides explore Capitol Reef National Park, Escalante Canyons National Monument, San Rafael Swell Wilderness, or Utah's High Plateaus.
Gateway City: Torrey, Utah
