Jackson Orchard at Capitol Reef National Park near Fruita, Utah is an easy 0.2-mile loop walk that features seasonal apple picking.
This is not a hike but rather a short walk through a historic apple orchard that the national park still keeps-up. During apple season (end of September), and when the park has this orchard open, visitors can walk through Jackson Orchard to pick apples for a modest fee. During our visit here in September, 2023 the apples were $2/pound. We hiked through the orchard picking the best apples we could find while taking in the scenery of Capitol Reef's towering rock walls high above our heads.
Parking
Visitors will find a small parking lot at the coordinates provided.
Pets
Dogs are not allowed in the orchard.
Warning
Rough terrain: Note that this orchard's terrain is full of ruts by tractors (or maybe wagons from another era), so watch your step and go slow otherwise you'll likely roll your ankles over and over again.

Before you leave...
MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller / Admin. As the main contributor and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my experiences from hikes and backpacking trips on MyHikes for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.
It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, and site maintainance . I simply ask that if you find our content helpful or useful when planning your next adventure that you consider making a small donation to help keep the site running.
You can become a Supporter* (*MyHikes user account required) to unlock perks for as little as $0.83/month with a 1-time non-recurring payment 👍 Or you can simply Donate any amount without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing to a donation - both quick and free 😄
Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike! ✌
