Capitol Reef和前面的两个公园比起来低调一些。
英文资料是这样描述的:A giant, sinuous wrinkle in the earth crust
stretches for 100 miles across south-central Utah. This impressive buckling of
rock, created 65 million years ago by the same tremendous forces that later
uplifted the Colorado Plateau, is called Waterpocket Fold. It extends from
nearby Thousand Lakes Mountain to the Colorado River (Lake Powell). The park was
established to protect this grant and colorful geologic feature, as well as the
unique nature and culture in the area.
