Slickrock Divide Vista at Capitol Reef National Park in Wayne County, Utah is a moderate 0.2-mile out-and-back hike that features stunning valley views within the Waterpocket Fold.
Hike Description
This hike begins along the Capitol Reef Scenic Drive, at the coordinates provided, and heads uphill along a short trail on the eastern side of the road. The trail leads uphill at a moderate elevation grade and ends at the top of a hill with stunning views into the valley facing both north and south. Slickrock Divide separates two large drainages on either side of the

Capitol Gorge to the south, hence the name Slickrock Divide.

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 (Founder & Admin). As the Founder, main contributor, and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my trips with over-detailed write-ups 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, site maintainance, and app development for iOS and Android . I simply ask that if you find MyHikes' trail guides helpful to please consider becoming a Supporter to help keep the site, iOS, and Android apps available to everyone.
Supporters unlock website and in-app perks with a one-time payment of $25 (you renew) 😎👍. Or you can simply make a Donation of your choice without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing - both quick and free 🎉
Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike!️
