"Freemont River Falls"
"Freemont River Falls" is an informal name I'm giving to this attractive waterfall a little over 6 miles east on SH24 of the Fruita turnoff in Capitol Reef National Park. Although the falls is not very tall (probably some 15ft or so), it has good volume for one that resides in the hot and dry Southern Utah deserts and is a popular spot for park visitors to cool off. What makes this waterfall so memorable is its juxtaposition with the tall sandstone cliffs as the backdrop, which is an unusual combination. The turnoff for the falls is not signed so you'll want a map handy and check your odometer. Fortunately, it has a very large pullout and chances are there'll be other people and cars present so keep an eye out for this. Tell us about your experience with this waterfall.
