A painter's palette of nature's hues. Capitol Reef National Park, Utah

Filled with the rugged grandeur of Utah's red rock country, Capitol Reef National Park is a historic destination that offers some truly spectacular scenic vistas. The park doesn't draw as many visitors as the more popular Zion and Bryce Canyon, which means visitors can enjoy a pleasantly uncrowded experience. Spanning more than 309 square miles, this hidden gem of the American Southwest is characterised by a tapestry of towering cliffs, twisting canyons, colourful sandstone buttes and sweeping desert landscapes. Its crown jewel, Waterpocket Fold is a geological wonder that spreads across almost 100 miles. The Fold is a monocline, a wrinkle on the surface of the planet, which was formed around 50 to 70 million years ago. Capitol Reef is also home to diverse plants and fauna, including the elusive desert bighorn sheep and more than 230 bird species.
