grand wash road

I would not like to be down in the wash when a storm hits. There is a warning that I hope people pay attention to, as driving through the park you can see where the dirt has been washed along during recent storms. Not a good place to be when that happens. It is amazing to see how the wash winds through the park again and again.

The hike was very easy. it was nice to be in the cavern. I never got tired of looking up and seeing the tallness of the cavern walls.

The Grand Wash hike is a major draw in Capitol Reef. Very easy hike down the 3 mile wash. The trail never gets really narrow, however the massive stone walls tower overhead and make for spectacular views! Did not have a car on the other side, so did the out and back. Never got tired of the views!

Great easy hike through the gorge. The graffitti from over 100 years ago was very interesting. Hike up the gorge to the Tanks was a little bit more difficult but worth it.

Seriously, with all the amazing hikes across the AZ/UT National Parks, this has to be the most boring. It is simply there and back along a dry river bed and when you get the most narrow part, it just doesn't seem worth it. At least we got to see Mule Deer grazing on the way out of the Park.

Yes, it is a very narrow dirt road. Yes it does seem long. It is worth it. Stop at the "Echo Wall (Echo Cliff?)" The kids will love it! Short hike following the stream bed is easy and fun, with lots of photo ops in the rocks along the way. Easy for the whole family.

Easy drive in a regular car. Spectacular sights that you will miss on the regular road. Perfectly quiet in many spots. Nice echo area off the big rocks. Varied colors of sandstone and old uranium mines.

a great introductory hike at Capitol Reef.easy enough, but quite scenic.it's an up and back route, but worth it.

Grand Wash Road is a well maintained dirt road that is easily passable by 2 wheel drive passenger vehicles in dry weather. The road heads east from almost halfway down the park’s scenic drive through a deep canyon cut by a usually dry wash. Although the views of the canyon are interesting as one passes through, the main feature is the popular Grand Wash tail at the end of the road. There is also a viewpoint for Cassidy Arch, named after Butch Cassidy who allegedly hid out in the area, but the view is rather limited. To get a good view of the arch, one needs to hike the strenuous Cassidy Arch trail which shares its trailhead with the Grand Wash trail at the end of the road. There is parking for the trails at the end of the road along with a clean pit toilet. While the Grand Wash trail is popular based upon the number of people we saw on it, we actually preferred the similar Capitol Gorge trail. Although strenuous, the Cassidy Arch trail was very good. If you do not plan to hike either the Grand Wash or Capitol Gorge trails, make a point of driving this road to view one of the few gorges that allow passage through the Waterpocket Fold and to get some feel for how the pioneers must have felt traveling through.

this is one of my favorites hikes in capitol reef, not a problem for younger kids either. Down where the wash narrows up if you look high on the ledge you will see names of the early settlers of the valleys caraved into the rock. A fun bit of history. Parking area is ample, there is also a restroom.

Despues del camino de coche, pudes entrar andando por el curso del rio seco. tienes que volver a salir por el mismo sitio para coger el coche de nuevo. Segun te adentras, se van estrechando las paredes altisimas cada giro del cauce. hay un momento que llegas a estar debajo de una tremenda hondonada en la roca, realmente llegas a pensar que en cualquier momento saldra un indio en lo alto o algun puma, como en las peliculas de western,

Breve deviazione della Scenic Drive su strada sterrata percorribile, con un po' di cautela, anche con auto normali. In caso di forti piogge viene chiusa. Stupendi scorci.

route non pavée, attention si vous avez une voiture type citadine. vaut mieux un 4x4.avec ce chemin, on se retrouve en plein milieu de ces roches qui pour certaines on se demande comment elles tiennent !

Esta trilha, longa e sinuosa, não pavimentada, leva por caminhos entre os paredões até um ponto. A partir dali deve-se fazer um percurso a pé que levará ao leito do rio, cercado de paredões cheios de esculturas feitas pelas águas que escorrer por dentro das rochas, dando um aspecto de queijo suíço.

Den Spuren des Wassers folgend, kann man hier ohne große Steigungen die Naturkräfte sehen und zwischen Canyonwänden ,manchmal auch in engen Kurven, die vielfältigen Farben und Formen erleben
