Cedar Breaks on a rainy day        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 of the two nearby National Park icons, Zion and 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 on a cloudy summer day with intermittent rain.  Other images of Cedar Breaks are here.
