This route takes us along the trail visiting flora, fauna, and geology of the high desert. Located at 6000′ and within Capitol Reef National Park, we explore the Pleasant Creek riparian corridor. This water way flows from the West, impacted by snowpack on Boulder Mountain and flows East toward the Henry Mountains. This waterway is a major source of life in the arid desert ecosystem and creates a route of travel through the Waterpocket Fold (a 100 mile long monocline or uplift in the earth’s crust).
