Fruit lovers may enjoy picking fruit in the orchards of Capitol Reef National Park. The area known as Fruita, near the park's visitor center, were family owned income producing orchards in years gone by. Depending on the season, you may find apples, apricots, cherries, peaches, pears or plums ripe and ready for harvest. Sampling fruit inside the orchard is free, and those who want to pick fruit to take home must weigh and pay for the fruit at a nearby self-pay station.

We had no idea that there were orchards within Capitol Reef National Park ... and better yet - ripe fruit is available for picking and sampling. Our visit last year was during apricot season ... I want my next visit to be during cherry or peach season!
Nature has been for me, for as long as I remember, a source of solace, inspiration, adventure, and delight; a home, a teacher, a companion. - Lorraine Anderson
