Capitol Reef National Park got its name from the white sandstone formations that resemble the dome of the U.S. Capitol building and the "reef" designation refers to the rocky cliffs that create a barrier to travel, similar to a coral reef. The term "reef" was used by early pioneers to describe these formidable geological features, which made navigation difficult. The park's unique landscape includes canyons, cliffs, and rock formations that reflect its geological history.
