Cedar Breaks National Monument is a huge natural amphitheater, which has been eroded out of the variegated Pink Cliffs (Claron Formation). Millions of years of sedimentation, uplift and erosion have created a deep canyon of rock walls, fins, spires and columns.

The rim of the canyon is over 10,000 feet above sea level, and is forested with Englemann spruce, subalpine fir and aspen. This is one of the few places in the world where you will see the ancient Bristlecone Pine; some specimens are more than one thousand years old!

The Cedar Breaks visitor center is open daily from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. from early June to mid-October. Summer season visitor facilities are closed from mid-October through late May due to heavy snowfall.

Winter recreational activities are abundant at Cedar Breaks. Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing are popular, and there are two marked trails in the park - the Alpine Pond Nature Trail and the North Rim Loop Trail. The upper Alpine Pond Trail (1 mile) and the North Rim Loop (1 mile) are both suitable for novice skiers.The lower Alpine Pond Trail (1 mile) is for more advanced skiers. All offer incredible vistas and surroundings.

“Cedar Breaks has the most breathtaking views I have ever seen” states “Cowboy Ted” Hallisey, Executive Director for the Kane County Office of Tour-ism, who cites the park as his favorite location in all of Utah.
