About this place
The east end of Sheets Gulch starts along a sandy wash bottom, between low hills. It then climbs to the east side of the Waterpocket Fold, in Capitol Reef National park.
Like the other canyons around here, it is fine to look at and hard to get through.
There is nothing built along the Notom Road, and nothing at the Sheets Gulch Trailhead. Bring what you need.

Every distance on this page is the driving distance. A short distance can still take a long time. The road may be closed for the season, covered in snow, or washed out. Many of these roads are dirt. Plan your route before you leave home. Out here there is often no phone signal to look it up on the way.

Monroe is big enough that you’d normally expect fuel and somewhere to buy food. Nobody from here has been to check, so don’t count on it if you’re running low.

Add road notes for this site
The thing we cannot get from any government record is what the drive in is actually like. If you have done it, this is the most useful thing you can leave behind. We read everything before it appears, and we print a first name with it if you give one.
Thank you. A person will read it before it goes on the page.
Where this information comes from
The description on this page is ours. The facts in it, and the fee and facility details below it, come from the Bureau of Land Management’s own records, read in August 2026.
