The Navaho Knobs Trail is the longest trail in Capitol Reef National Park. The 9.4 mile round trip climbs (relentlessly) about 2,000 feet to an elevation of nearly 7,000 feet. This was no small day hike for us, but we figured we could always turn around if the going got tough.
An hour later (at least) we finally reached the base of The Knobs. The trail led us around to the right where we scrambled up the rocks, as far as we dared, to take in the view.

Gorgeous! That’s one park I haven’t been to yet but now you’ve made it intriguing. Knowing Reg’s ‘love’ of heights, getting up there was very brave!

We’ve been hoping to find a place that rivals Sedona for hiking. Capitol Reef comes close. Photos don’t capture the grand scale. You’ll love it!
