The Cedar Breaks natural amphitheater is made up of variegated claron formations that were created over millions of years through sedimentation, uplift and erosion and with that comes a landscape of absolutely spectacular hoodoos.  Cedar Breaks is not limited to just rock and hoodoos however.  There are meadows of wildflowers, and spectacular hikes to rivers and hoodoo bottoms. This place is a photographers dream. The breaks are surrounded by forested lands which also offer many great photo opportunities.

While this is presented as three hiking routes, it's usually a dirt biking trail, so if you brought your bikes with you then enjoy. Duck Creek usually has places to rent bikes.
