In the southern part of Utah, you can visit Cedar Breaks and the Southern Ski Resorts. These ski areas are located near the city of Cedar City. The Cedar Breaks National Monument is one of the most beautiful and unique attractions in the country. The amphitheater-like formation spans over three miles and reaches a depth of over 2,000 feet. At a height of over 10,000 feet, it is one of the highest peaks in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The scenic drive along Highway 148 will take you through the beautiful Cedar Breaks National Monument. You will be greeted by the Winter Warming Yurt, a winter education center and ranger station. The park is open from late May until mid-October and features superb camping. You can also check out the flora and fauna at the nearby Amphitheater. And if you are interested in stargazing, you’ll find the Milky Way over the horizon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Badlands are an interesting feature of this park. Red, orange, and yellow hues are caused by iron and magnesium oxides. This geological formation is located at an elevation of 7,000 feet, making it an ideal destination for hiking, or camping. You can visit Cedar Breaks for its spectacular view of the Amphitheater and the Milky Way. While skiing, you can also experience the scenery in a different way. Depending on snow conditions, you can even camp at the campground for a night. The price for a night’s stay in Cedars is $12 or less, or $12 more if you have a National Parks America the Beautiful Pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re looking for something more relaxing than skiing, you can visit the Cedar Breaks National Monument, which sits on top of the Colorado plateau. It’s a two-mile amphitheater, with spectacular red rock formations and natural mineral deposits. During the winter months, the Monument is a winter wonderland of red rocks and is accessible through the Thunder Mountain Motorsports. If you’re looking for a fun family activity, try hiking or horseback riding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can take a trail that winds up the cliffs. A trail that leads through the Twisted Forest is a mile long and scenic trail that’s accessible off Dry Lakes Road. The Twisted Forest Trail is a short hike that takes you through a rare grove of Bristlecone Pines. It is estimated that the trees in this area were over 3,000 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cedar Breaks National Monument is accessible by car or by snowmobile. The trail system is well-maintained and easy to follow, so it’s a great choice for families with children. The visitor center at Cedar is open from mid-May to mid-October. In the winter, the visitor center is closed due to heavy snow. You can access it from Utah Hwy 143. You can even go on a guided snowshoe hike through the park.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
