Covering a vast 378 square miles, Capitol Reef National Park is a stunning gem. One of Utah's Big Five National Parks, Capitol Reef tends to be less crowded than others, and it's the perfect spot for a quick getaway.

For a unique stay while you're there, visit Capitol Reef Resort. Nestled at the bottom of sandstone cliffs, the resort is just minutes away from the park, and it offers a unique option for accommodations. How would you like to stay in a teepee?

Don't worry - you won't be sleeping on the ground here! These teepees all have cozy beds with luxurious linens.

Every 250-square-foot teepee is outfitted with all the luxurious comforts of home. Modern bathrooms are just a few steps away.

Teepees are available from June through September, so you still time to check one of these out.

During the winter, you'll want to stay in one of the cozy cabins, or choose a guest room. No matter where you sleep, you'll feel pampered here.

You'll find plenty of places around the property to relax and soak in the views.

Speaking of soaking, guests here also enjoy the outdoor heated pool and hot tub.

The resort also offers horseback tours of the park. There's no better way to experience the natural beauty of Capitol Reef National Park than from the back of a horse.
