Due to the isolation of the Field Station within Capitol Reef National Park, the only feasible way to reach us is via motorized vehicle. Part of our message of sustainability is to minimize impact in the way we travel, and this includes transportation to and from the Station. Parking on-site is limited, so traveling as a group to minimize the number of vehicles (and thus fuel usage) is encouraged. In addition, we encourage groups to use the most fuel efficient vehicle they can.

Just as with the other aspects of your stay, our hope is that the awareness you gain during your experience at the Field Station inspires you to make transportation decisions in your daily life that incorporate principles of sustainability. Walking, biking, carpooling, utilizing public transportation and trip-chaining are just some of the mindful transportation choices we can make to benefit all of us. Other potential options include purchasing a more fuel-efficient vehicle when the time comes or considering an electric or hybrid-electric vehicle.
