Monumento nazionale di Cedar Breaks (Cedar Breaks National Monument)
Il monumento nazionale di Cedar Breaks (Cedar Breaks National Monument) è un monumento nazionale degli Stati Uniti d'America localizzato nello stato dello Utah vicino a Cedar City. Cedar Breaks è un anfiteatro naturale, che si allunga per 4,8 km, con una profondità di oltre 610 m. L'altitudine del bordo dell'anfiteatro è di oltre 3.000 m s.l.m.
La roccia dell'anfiteatro è più erosa, ma altrimenti simile alle formazioni del Parco nazionale del Bryce Canyon, del Red Canyon nella Foresta nazionale di Dixie e di alcune aree selezionate di Cedar Mountain (SR-14). A causa della sua altitudine, la neve rende spesso alcune parti del parco inaccessibili ai veicoli da ottobre fino a maggio. Il suo centro visitatori al bordo dell'anfiteatro è aperto da giugno fino a ottobre. Parecchie migliaia di persone visitano il monumento ogni anno. L'area ospita inoltre le sorgenti del Mammoth Creek, un affluente del fiume Sevier.

Cedar Breaks is a hidden gem amongst the National Parks and Monuments. The Spectra Point and Rampart Overlook trail is about 4 miles round trip. It has great views along the rim of Cedar Breaks. Be sure to bring water and snacks. The trail is well worn, but has pretty steep switchbacks in some places. It is well worth the hike, but be prepared. The elevation is over 10,000 feet, so dehydration and altitude sickness is something to be aware of.

Stunning and beautiful. Groomed trails in most areas make it easy to traverse the designated routes. Don't be that person wandering off the routes; environmentally sensitive wilderness and dangerous (some areas currently have no rails). The wildflowers are in full bloom in the nearby meadows and cooler temperatures during the hot summer days.

Basically a smaller version of Bryce Canyon without the crowds. Great little and usually quiet park. Great views and hiking trails. Doesn't get many visitors even in peak season. Well worth a visit.

So glad we finally got to check this off our bucket list. It was worth waiting for the seasonal road to open. The drive is amazing. Views are spectacular and easily accessible. Only a very short walk to the vistas. Note: it is very windy at that elevation, so dress for it. Also, the visitor center is not open so no facilities open. So plan accordingly. Be sure to take the time to see this sight - you won’t regret it - BEAUTIFUL!

Stunning 😍 there is not much parking available in some spots, but worth the wait! Well maintained hiking trails as well. It's like a mini Bryce Canyon!

Went in July. It was 115 in St. George and only 77 due to elevation. Very pleasant! Great flowers. Could have spent more time there!
