Navajo Knobs in Capitol Reef [December 20, 2015]

Advertisement: A hike from the canyon up to a plateau with sweeping views of the colorful landscape in Capitol Reef National Park. The terminus at Trail Knobs requires an easy scramble with even more rewarding views. The High Knob can also be accessed via a Class 4 climb.

Difficulty: 9 mile round trip, 1500 feet of elevation gain

Summary: This is a really solid day hike whose main appeal to me were the views of the surrounding landscape, and especially the 360 degree views from the knob. 4/5
