Cedar Breaks
At an altitude of 10,000+ ft (3,000+m), Cedar Breaks National Monument in Utah sits on top of the Colorado plateau. Millions of years of sedimentation, uplift, and erosion have carved out this giant amphitheater that spans some three miles and is more than 2,000 feet deep. The Scenic Drive through the park is closed from the first heavy snow (anywhere from late October to early December) and typically remains closed through late May and early June. This was our fourth attempt to visit this park, and we were rewarded with great views, clear autumn air and wonderful color.
We are back in California after 15 days, 3,000+ miles and a family gathering. I hope to catch up with everyone over the next few days.
Thanks for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.
