America the Beautiful Pass - The pass will get you into all National Parks, Monuments and Federal Lands for a year.
It can be purchased at the entrance to any of the National Parks. Buying the pass at the park you visit helps to fund that park as at least eighty-percent of the funds will stay where you buy the pass and the close association between Cedar Breaks National Monument and Zion National Park allows the fees to go to that park. The pass also covers sites managed by USDA FS, NPS, USFWS, BLM and Reclamation. If you are 62 or older or receive disability benefits, you may be eligible for the Senior or Access pass.

Join in the fun and experience Cedar Breaks
Fields of flowers decorate the meadows at Cedar Breaks and columbines dot some of the trails within the monument. Sunflowers soak up the heat, while more delicate wildflowers cower in hidden recesses of rocks, trees and mountain sides. The sun loving varieties spread out among the areas devoid of rocky hoodoos, coming into bloom each spring on the high mountain top of Cedar Breaks. Dixie National Forest encompasses the recreation area offering a forested scene to enjoy along the journey to the monument. Tall, willowy aspens line scenic byway 14, which produce a marvelous show of Autumn colors early in the fall. Pines dot the mountain-sides along the drive. Once fall has passed, and winter takes over, the scene is Christmas Card perfect. Make sure to walk along the Cascade Falls trail for more flowery displays.
