The Best Sidetrip

Cedar Breaks National Monument (near Cedar City): A delightful little park, Cedar Breaks National Monument is a junior Bryce Canyon, with a spectacular natural amphitheater filled with stone spires, arches, and columns, and painted in reds, purples, oranges, and ochers. You can camp among the spruce, firs, and wildflowers that blanket the 10,000-foot plateau each summer.
