Cedar Breaks
National Monument

A huge natural amphitheater has been eroded out of the variegated Pink Cliffs (Claron Formation) near Cedar City, Utah. Explore the backside of Zion where millions of years of sedimentation, uplift and erosion have created a deep canyon of rock walls, fins, spire and columns that spans some three miles and is over 2,000 feet deep. The rim of the canyon is over 10,000 feet above sea level and is forested with islands of Englemann spruce, subalpine fire and aspen; separated by broad meadows of brilliant summertime wild flowers. The difficulty of hiking can be varied for different groups with an emphasis on interpretation of the resident flora, fauna, and geological features.  Advance sign-up required.

Geology programs are presented on the hour between 10 am and 5 pm daily, from late May through mid-October at the Point Supreme overlook.
