For many years, the Gifford Homestead
(above) was part of a working farm.
Now set in Capitol Reef National Park,
it has been restored to demonstrate
the early Mormon settlement of Utah’s
Fruita valley; spring wildflowers in
Zion National Park (right); a highway
winds past chimney rocks and mesas in
Capitol Reef National Park (opposite).
