Sunset Point Overlook

Sunset Point- Capitol Reef National Park

The name of this overlook in Capitol Reef National Park speaks for itself “Sunset Point Overlook”. What a beautiful spot this is, after a small hike from the parking area you climb to the top of a bluff overlooking the park. Our group had spots picked out and tripods set up well before sunset, the clouds looked promising all afternoon but as the sun started setting the prospects for a good sunset started looking grim, the consensus from the group was that it was gonna be a bust. A few of us left the tripods set up and waited it out, counting down the minutes….then the magic started to happen, the final minutes after the sun set it was low enough that it started to light up the whole sky over the valley, and the skies behind our group, it turned out to be a great night after all. Capitol Reef National Park is a spectacular place.

Thanks for stopping
