We were so glad that we stopped at Cedar Breaks National Monument on our way to Bryce Canyon! Most people skip it and just head straight to Bryce. Cedar Breaks is a natural amphitheater canyon, stretching 3 miles with a depth of 2,000 feet. The elevation of the rim of the canyon is over 10,000 feet.
Here are some of the wonderful and amazing things we saw:
We thought we would take time for one short hike but as we progressed there was just too much snow. Here is Dan posing by one mound of snow on the trail, but it got a lot worse past that meadow and into the trees.
The park is called "Cedar Breaks" for the trees which are actually not cedars but junipers (mistake by the early Mormon pioneers) and "breaks" described the badlands (pioneer word) with all the cracks and crevasses.
