Coming from the West, the pass at Fish Lake is 8,406 feet. From Bryce and the south 9,200 feet. From the east or staying on I-70 I don't see anything higher than 7,923 feet. You could look into a portable oxygen bottle that is 100% oxygen for those higher elevations. Pilots use those at higher altitudes.

Q:
My husband and I would like to take our sons to Capital Reef. HOwever, we have a 9 year old with ASD who sometimes likes to run off. Therefore, we removed Bryce and Grand Canyon from our list. Can anyone tell us of any hiking trails at this park without drop off's where if he ran he would not get hurt?

Where we drove in Capitol Reef it looked relatively flat and you looked up at the rock formations. I think if you take the road to the end there are some trails you can take from there and I think they are relatively flat. Have you been to Zion? There are trails there you can take on the valley floor.

Sorry for the delay in responding....Trip Advisor no longer sends questions to us....I just happened to see your question while deleting messages. I cannot answer your question specifically....during that time of year it could be a problem. HOWEVER....I would recommend that you call Carlton Hotel in Salt Lake City...1-800-633-3500. They could, possibly, give you a better answer. We were there last fall on a VERY busy weekend ...the semi-annual Morman convention. The hotel is 2 blocks from the Morman complex and the hotel was not busy. Paid $79.00 per night and had 2 bedrooms and kitchenette. Hot breakfast in morning. Park City & Olympic Park about 35 minute drive from hotel. See my reviews of both areas on TA.
