Capitol Reef Field Station, in partnership with Capitol Reef National Park, promotes
and supports engaged learning, environmental ethics, and research and creative work through
the exploration of the Colorado Plateau.
The park’s Scenic Drive, which leads to the field station, is under construction.
It is closed to the public but open for field station visitors. As a result you cannot use Google Maps for directions. Use the written directions found here. There is no cell service or internet once you leave Torrey, so we recommend downloading
driving directions before you leave town. Contact Cinimin Kofford for the most up-to-date information.
