15 Cedar Breaks - 2022

Vacation 2022
Cedar Breaks
National Monument

I would describe Cedar Breaks as a mini-Bryce Canyon. Unfortunately, we were not prepared for the weather at the time of our visit. It was cold, the wind gusted to around 70mph, and we were being pelted with sand granules. We were literally being sand blasted.

So, we didn’t stay at the monument very long.

Pretty this entire episode of the Vacation 2022 video is just driving around from the campground we stayed in, around the Cedar Breaks NM and a short jog into Bryce Canyon before returning to our campground. The video will a good idea of what the Southwest quarter of Utah looks like.

Start – We arrived at the campground late last evening. Having had a long day of driving plus taking in the Hoover Dam and driving across Death Valley, we opted to just take it easy today and rest up for our foray into Zion National Park tomorrow.

5:20 – Stopping to do a little map work.

22:34 – Now we’re getting somewhere. This road will lead us to the monument.

33:13 - And here we are at one of the observation overlooks.

37:07 – Yep, that’s some snow that has melted away.

40:59 – Entering a beautiful place somewhere between Cedar Breaks and Bryce Canyon.

49:03 – We’re actually in Bryce Canyon National Park but only for a moment.

53:41 - Were back in that beautiful place again, between Cedar Breaks and Bryce Canyon.
