I have grown up spending every summer in Cedar City and we have always ended our trip by doing a hike in Cedar Breaks. Visiting Duck Creek and strawberry fields. It has always been and always will be not only beautiful but calming. A continuous reminder of how big and important our world is.
Sincerely,
Cedar Breaks National Monument
Millions of years of erosion created this spectacular amphitheater, which measures three miles across and half a mile deep. The park features colorful arches, spires, pinnacles and hoodoos, and Native Americans called this area the "Circle of Painted Cliffs." The rim of the canyon features subalpine forestland of ponderosa pine and quaking aspen, as well as meadows that burst with wildflowers each summer.
State(s): Utah
Established: 1933
“Its beautiful, a breathe of fresh air and a chance to love and connect with our land. ”
