Gifford House Pies
A visit to Capitol Reef often means a stop at the historic Gifford House for fresh-baked pie.
Fun fact: those pies are made right here at Broken Spur. They're not sold on-site, but you can grab one seasonally at the Gifford House; availability varies, so go early if pie's on your must-do list.
Guided Tours & Local Experiences
Local guided experiences include farmstead visits, river and outdoor guides, horseback and outfitting, alpaca visits, and more. Availability varies by season, so we recommend checking directly with each provider before making plans.
