Cedar Breaks National Monument.

We finished at Kolob Canyon early enough, that we decided to check out Cedar Breaks as a place to hike and visit tomorrow.

Driving out of Cedar City UT, the road climbed continuously for 10 miles. Arriving at the Visitor's Center, the elevation was over 10,000 feet. Park Ranger gave us some hiking suggestions. Then we did the short walk to Point Supreme Overlook.

O! M! G!

The photos will not do it justice.

The Southwest's Grand Staircase ends here. The landscape changes from High Altitude Cedar Forest to Grand Canyon multi-layer cliffs over several feet. The plateau edge is eroding away to expose all the sedimentary rock layers.

Temperature at Cedar Breaks at 1PM: 63F. St George at 4 PM: 104F.

We are coming back to hike tomorrow.Læs mere
