I had planned our trip to Utah for a few months and did not come across Cedar Breaks until the last minute. Sure glad I found it. We enjoyed the ride up to here (10,000 ft) from Cedar City. We did the hike out to Spectra Point and back. Great photos as there wasn't a cloud in the sky. Without... more

Cedar Breaks seems like Cinderella tucked in between Zion and Bryce Canyons. Most people will overlook her because she hasn't been given status. The view is pretty but the park is not a stand alone destination. However, it is sooooo worth the drive. In fact, the drive is part of the allure. Because the park is almost 2 miles above... more

I didn't do my homework this time. I started off from Panguitch expecting Cedar Breaks National Monument to be open. There were no indications along the highway I took (Utah 143-West) that the park was closed, although it was evident by extensive signage that highway 143 can sometimes be closed due to snow. It was May 12 and I was... more

This is an easily accessible national monument (except when snowed in) that can be seen at the same time as Bryce and Zion. Part of what makes it impressive is seeing this type of formation at such a high altitude (10000+ feet). Also, there are some very ancient bristlecone pines here. more

The driving is easy and the walks are fine, the views, breathtaking. I suggest you try the combo trails (easy to mod/easy) right out of back of the Visitor's center. (There is a cooler of snacks, drinks, nothing much more. I didn't see any bathrooms except for there. There is camping available. $4.00 per person, free for up to 4... more

We didn't plan to visit Cedar Breaks on our trip to Southern Utah this April as we had been told that the highway 148 is closed in Winter due to heavy snow and you can't get to it other than by snowmobile. We visited Duck Creek hoping to see some snow but there wasn't any as the weather had been... more

We visited Cedar Breaks in the middle of May, 2006. I had researched our Utah adventure enough to know that the trails at Cedar Breaks are only along the rim, unlike Bryce which we had already visited. (Bryce is another must do if you're in the area!) We were staying in St. George so it was only a short drive... more
