Welcome to the Capitol Reef Connections Course. While closed during the COVID pandemic, we began work on this course to share the wonders of Capitol Reef with those who were not able to visit. We quickly realized the value of these materials at all times, whether closed due to a pandemic or open as usual. If you have already visited the field station, are planning a visit soon, or just want to learn more about the Colorado Plateau, we invite you to visit the modules below. We hope you enjoy learning more about the wonders of Capitol Reef!
