Description
Cedar Breaks National Monument sits at over 10,000 feet on the western rim of the Markagunt Plateau — a natural amphitheater three miles wide and more than 2,000 feet deep, carved from the same Claron limestone that colors Bryce Canyon but quieter, higher, and less crowded.
Ranger PamPaw’s Guide to Cedar Breaks covers everything you need to make the most of your visit:
•The Southern Paiute history of the “Circle of Painted Cliffs”
•The geology of Lake Claron and the Grand Staircase
•The bristlecone pines at Spectra Point — some over 1,600 years old
•All four rim overlooks: Point Supreme, Sunset View, Chessman Ridge, and North View
•Trail guides for Spectra Point & Ramparts Overlook and the Alpine Pond Loop
•Visitor tips including elevation awareness, weather, and seasonal access
•Where to stay: Point Supreme Campground, Brian Head, and Cedar City
•Ranger PamPaw’s Must Do — five picks from someone who’s been there
Written from personal experience and grounded in NPS history, this is the guide you read before you go and reference while you’re there.
