This is the most iconic food stop inside Capitol Reef National Park and a must-visit. The historic Gifford Homestead is famous for its freshly baked fruit pies, cinnamon rolls, and ice cream—often made with locally harvested apples, peaches, or cherries when in season. It’s simple, rustic, and deeply tied to the park’s pioneer history. Grab a slice after a hike through Fruita and enjoy it under the cottonwoods.
