We arrived back in Utah and drove south. Our first stop was Cedar Breaks National Monument. It was a great start to our Southern Utah experience. We had gorgeous weather, the rocks were alive with vibrant color, and the wildflowers were blooming.
Cedar refers to the juniper trees that were mistaken for cedars that grow on the slopes below the park. Breaks describes the eroded badlands where the edge of the plateau breaks away to a lower area.
We were there during the Wildflower Festival and their 75th Anniversary celebration.
This is definitely one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. If I remember correctly, it is near Brian Head Ski Resort.
The kids enjoyed the Junior Rangers Program. We attended an animal talk and hiked through the wildflower path.

I think Cedar Breaks is about as beautiful as it gets!
