Canyonlands-Capitol Reef, Worth the trip?
We've done the best known National Parks in the west and are working our way through the second tier. What can you tell me about these two parks? Thanks. Is hwy 50, west of the parks, good road.

I first visited Capitol Reef in the 1960s. It was not a park then and not even a national monument. I always like going there because it was quiet and under the radar.
I rarely visit NPs now except in the off season. "Second tier" parks can be good because they are not so popular. What I really like are place on NF and BLM land that no one has ever heard of.
You have to figure out what you and your companions are interested in. I really like geology, geomorphology, forests, wildflowers and wildlife and have a great time looking at those. Some people develop and interest and some never do. That helps explain tv, video games, and movies in the outdoors.
