Fruita, Capitol Reef National Park

 If you want a change of pace from hiking through Capitol Reef, you should visit Fruita. It has several historical buildings, including a schoolhouse, barn, and a blacksmith. You can also walk through the orchards and pick fruit that is in season. A little farther down the highway, you can stop off at the boardwalk and see petroglyphs that were made by the Fremont People.
