Few western national parks offer the striking combination of nature’s splendor with the handiwork of man quite like Utah’s Capitol Reef National Park. Boasting red sandstone cliffs, towering rock monoliths, natural bridges, pinnacles, and arches, Capitol Reef also contains the remnants of a pioneer settlement, including a barn, a one-room schoolhouse and orchards. This most-visited area of the park featuring the town of Fruita contains 15 hiking trails, ranging in distance from ¼ mile to 10 miles. Some of the most popular trails are two that traverse narrow canyons, Capitol Gorge and The Grand Wash, as well as Hickman Bridge and Cassidy Arch. When choosing a Capitol Reef hotel, choose Slot Canyons Inn in Escalante so you can easily visit both Capitol Reef and Bryce Canyon National Park, both of which are located approximately one hour from our bed and breakfast.
Slot Canyons Inn boasts suites that all feature king or queen beds, TVs, and DVD players. Most suites feature jetted tubs, patios and spectacular views of the surrounding scenery. To add to their charm and ambience, the names of our suites have local flair. For example, some of our suites bear the names of local natural landmarks, including Calf Creek Falls, Dance Hall Rock and Spooky Gulch. Unlike any Capitol Reef hotel located closer to the park, Slot Canyons Inn stands on a scenic 160-acre property that includes a private canyon, a two-tiered waterfall, ancient Indian ruins, petroglyphs, and the confluence of the Escalante River and North Creek. To add to our guests’ enjoyment and relaxation, we offer a large patio, roof garden and a lounge featuring a library, small gift shop, and wireless Internet.
If you stayed in a Capitol Reef hotel, you would not be able to enjoy such fantastic amenities, as well as close proximity to other scenic attractions, including Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument and Escalante Petrified Forest State Park, which are located within minutes of Slot Canyons Inn. Bryce Canyon National Park’s stunning natural amphitheatres filled with colorful spires and pinnacles, known as “hoodoos,” are only one hour away. When visiting south central Utah’s scenic attractions, do not settle for a Capitol Reef hotel, but stay at the Slot Canyons Inn, where you can easily visit many more of the region’s one-of-a-kind scenic wonders.
