If you are like me, then you enjoy the National Parks and Monuments through the lens of a camera. There is something about it that offers a feeling of accomplishment for a job well done. It's also fun to share those photographs with friends and other people that enjoy the same areas that I do. I have been privileged to have the time to wander through Red Canyon, Cedar Mountain, Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park, Grand Canyon, Coyote Buttes, Grand Staircase-Escalante and many other spectacular places for photography. The internet has made this easy, and so has digital photography. Thank you for letting me share.

Cedar Breaks National Monument is surrounded by Utah's Dixie National Forest. From Mt. Carmel Junction, drive north on US-89 to the junction with U-14. SR-14 is known as Cedar Mountain which is the scenic byway to travel to Cedar Breaks. Once on Cedar Mountain, travel through the beautiful forest, and then turn at the signed highway to Cedar Breaks - U-148. It's 22 miles from Mt. Carmel Junction to boundary of Dixie National Forest and 45 miles to Cedar Breaks.

This is my new favorite quote:
"I don't know who Mary Cisneros is, but I mean zionnational-park.com
It's a better site than the NPS's anyway."
