Backpacking in Cedar Breaks

Ashdown Gorge -  Rattlesnake Creek Route

This is a 10 mile hike. The time it takes to hike depends on the water levels and how many side canyons you explore.  Plan on 6 hours to a full day of hiking. With so much to see and explore the hike is often stretched out to a 2 or 3 day backpack. The hike is one way and two cars are needed or hitchhike back to your vehicle.

Cedar Breaks Bottoms

This route takes backpackers to the bottom of the impressive Cedar Breaks hoodoos and allows wilderness camping.

Cedar Breaks - UTAH!

Cedar Breaks National Monument


I walk without flinching through the burning cathedral of the summer. My bank of wild grass is majestic and full of music. It is a fire that solitude presses against my lips.
