Cedar Breaks - Dixie National Forest
The National Park Service (NPS) offers ranger talks and walks throughout
the summer. The various programs include geology and evening campfire stories.
Sadly, some that visit the Southwest do not visit Cedar Breaks National Monument
after they are told that it is simply a "mini Bryce Canyon." That
is far from the truth! The only thing the two parks have in common is a nearby
location and that the hoodoos and fins appear somewhat similar. Cedar Breaks
is an incredible attraction that every vacationer to southern Utah should think
about putting on their itinerary.
Cedar Breaks Visitors Center
The visitor center opens its doors at the end of May and closes mid-October
each year. Look for the daily ranger talks and walks posted at the
center. The Zion Natural History Association sells a variety of maps, posters
and books at the Cedar Breaks Visitor Center. Kids can pick up their Junior Ranger booklets here and return to report to a ranger when it is completed,
to receive their Junior Ranger badge.
Point Supreme Campground
The campground is open from mid-June through September. Fees are $14 and the
twenty-eight sites are given on a first come first use basis. Expect nighttime
summer temperatures to reach as low as 30 degrees at Cedar Breaks. The campground
is equipped with water, tables, fire grills and restrooms. There is an amphitheater
where the rangers hold seasonal campfire programs. For those with a Golden Age
or Golden Access cards the camping fee is $6. There are other camp sites
offered in Dixie National
Forest.
Biking in Cedar Breaks
Bikes are allowed on the highways and on some of the Dixie
National Forest trails.
Blowhard, an advanced technical bike trail, starts near Cedar Breaks and gives
impressive views of the area. Brian Head Ski Resort has some mountain bike trails.
Navajo Lake Loop and the Virgin River Rim bike trails in Dixie National Forest are popular.
Cedar Breaks Lodging
There is lodging at Duck Creek or on the east side of Zion National Park.
The Best Western East Zion Thunderbird Lodge, East Zion Rental House and the
East Zion Riverside Campground are located at the perfect spot for your vacation
in southern Utah. Enjoy Utah's scenic byways, returning to the junction of Scenic
Byway 9 and Scenic Byway 89, which meet at the alluring mountains of Mount Carmel
Junction.
