Cedar Breaks is at 10,000 feet with incredible views of an amphitheater of brilliant rock formations. The hiking is excellent at this location.
NM doesn't open until June but we drove up on our way to Bryce Canyon NP. Roads had not been plowed yet, so we looked at the amphitheater from the Brian Head fork on SR 143. Beautiful view with all the snow (it was 18 deg.) but would be more photogenic in the late afternoon. Bryce is more spectacular and...

It's a moderate drive to get up here, but a pretty drive and well worth it. It will be chilly up here even at noon in the fall. Great views of the Breaks and surrounding country.
Approaching it, you have no idea what is there.. Can't see it at all off the HWY. It should be considered for National Park status, but it is probably too small. Entrance fee is a lot less to National Monuments. Isolated and very high elevation. Not much in the area food or gas wise. Fill up before heading up. Same...

This place is simply beautiful! My husband and I hiked around the monument and didn't even realize how much time had passed because we were so taken away. The park ranger working at the park was also VERY nice and informative.

If you go, stop at each lookout point. Such an incredible view from each one. In the winter, a little dusting of snow really accentuates the red. In the summer, try to catch it late in the day when the shadows are long. A really peaceful place to see God's magnificence.
We drove to Cedar Breaks after the southern Utah area had received 12-14 inches of snow...gave the monument a different appearance - but still pretty!
its great spot to stop by when you visit this city. Just few miles drive on hwy 14. On the way to bryce and zion. make sure you see this
There are some gorgeous sites to see in the area. I highly recommend a drive through this area. Brian Head and Zion are very close by to see as well.
