Cedar Breaks National Monument
Trails for Kids and Families
Alpine Pond Trail
This easy 2.1 mile (round trip) trail begins at the Chessman Overlook viewpoint
or the Alpine Pond Trailhead. This is an easy hike, but the path is too slick
and rocky for sandals, strollers or wheelchairs. Starting at the Chessman Ridge
Overlook allows a breathtaking rim view that is missed when starting from the
Alpine Pond Trailhead.
Twisted Forest Trail
This 2 mile trail (roundtrip) is located just past Cedar Breaks National Monument.
Continue on SR 143 toward Brian Head Ski Resort to find the trailhead. This trail
can be hiked or biked. The path meanders past twisted Bristlecone Pine trees
with cairns to mark the way. At the end of the trail is a nice view of of the
Ashdown Gorge Wilderness and the Cedar Breaks amphitheater.
Bristlecone Pine Trail
This is an easy .77 mile/1.24km hike to a view of Zion National Park in the
distance. The trail ends in a grove of magnificent bristlecone pines. Look for
the trailhead immediately west of the turn-off to Cedar Breaks. An interesting
tidbit is that the bristlecone pines are the oldest living things on earth.
Cedar Breaks: Junior Ranger Program
Cedar Breaks offers a Junior Ranger program much like that of
the Grand Canyon and Bryce Canyon. Kids can pick up a packet at the Cedar Breaks
Visitor Center at Point Supreme. The Junior Ranger Program includes identification
of plants and wildlife and the importance of taking care of our public lands.
Junior Rangers are presented with a badge upon successful completion of the program.
