Getting There

The entire section of Highway 95 from Natural Bridges to Capitol Reef, and also Highway 12 from Capitol Reef to Bryce Canyon are quite scenic. There are open space camping areas (where you can park your car and camp, as long as you bring your trash away) that might be fun to spend the night.
