Cedar Breaks        Images © Mark A. Chappell

Cedar Breaks is a small National Monument a bit north of Zion National Park. It is much less known, and less visited, than either Zion or nearby Bryce Canyon.   Nevertheless it is a spectacular place, with a huge, complex, eroded face falling away from a high rim (almost in the alpine zone at about 3100 meters elevation (10,300 feet).   I took these photos from several of the lookouts around the rim on a cloudy autumn day. The highway leading to the Monument had some spectacular aspen groves.
