Crowning the grand staircase, Cedar Breaks sits at over 10,000 feet and looks down into a half-mile deep geologic amphitheater. Come wander among timeless bristlecone pines, stand in lush meadows of wildflower, ponder crystal-clear night skies and experience the richness of our subalpine forest.

Steering away from the crowds of the Utah's big five National Parks, we decided that Cedar Breaks NM would be a great unit to take in. This Unit did not disappointed in this decision. We started at the Temporary Visitor Center and Store. A new Visitor Center is being built and will not be open until 2024. We did our shopping for the required new park bling including a Bark Ranger tag for Daisy. This unit does not have a Bark Ranger program, but they do have tags.
There is nothing more than a small office for the acting Visitor Center right with no exhibits or movie to see. We then headed out to take in this unit. We stopped at each of the three overlooks taking in the spender that this unit offers. Each overlook offers amazing views of the Amphitheater that is three miles across. We spent around two hours here but with the new Visitors Center coming soon we can add an hour more for taking that in. There are also a few longer trails to take in if you want a hiking adventure.
