Historic Waterpocket Fold corridor at the end of Capitol Reef’s Scenic Drive — a deep, nearly level canyon walk through Navajo and Kayenta walls once used by pioneer wagons. Pioneer register panels, the Tanks potholes spur, and Golden Throne views make it one of the park’s classic non-technical canyon experiences.
