Cedar Breaks National Monument
Cedar Breaks Amphitheater is more than 2,000 feet deep and more than 3 miles in Diameter. The scenic drive is along Markagunt Plateau at 10,000 feet. We visited this area on May 31 and at 10,000 feet there was still plenty of snow with the temperature in the 50’s. There were some extraordinary rock forms in the amphitheater with brilliant colors of white, tan and pink. The black rock that one sees along the ride to Cedar Breaks showed the results of volcanic activities in this area in the past.
