Facility

The Capitol Reef Field Station consists of four buildings (three shown in image) on a bluff overlooking Pleasant Creek in Capitol Reef National Park. The field station is a model in energy-wise construction; it is solar-powered with a propane backup generator, and makes extensive use of passive heating and cooling. While the station has adequate electricity and water to support activities, our staff and guests practice conservation at all times. The station accommodates up to 40 day-use visitors and 24 overnight visitors. Presently, phone and web access is intended for educational purposes only and use must be approved by staff and the group leader.
