Cedar Breaks is a stunning collection of striking rock formations including incredible vibrant voodoos. The park includes a colorful 2,000-foot-deep amphitheater canyon with bragging rights of its own. In addition to the simply dazzling views and heart-pounding hikes, you can tour the park from your car and romp around the Cedar Breaks meadows, known for their wide variety of gorgeous springtime wildflowers.
As you've probably already guessed, a camera is a must at this national treasure. If you're traveling up to high country, keep a lookout for the remarkable bristlecone pine - the longest-living species of tree known to humankind. The park boasts one that has aged more than 1,600 years; but who's counting? The park offers several adventurous activities such as challenging hikes, snowshoeing, and cross- country skiing in the winter.

A huge natural amphitheater has been eroded out of the variegated Pink Cliffs (Claron Formation) near Cedar City, Utah. Millions of years of sedimentation, uplift and erosion have created a deep canyon of rock walls, fins, spires 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 fir and aspen; separated by broad meadows of brilliant summertime wild flowers
