Cedar Breaks National Monument

I have written about Cedar Breaks many times.  The road to get to the monument closes around mid-October because of the heavy snow that falls in the area.  It is located a bit above 10,000 feet!  However, people can get there with cross country skis and snowmobiles to admire the fabulous views.  

About a week ago, the access road was plowed and visitors were welcomed once again, even though the official park buildings will still remain closed for a few weeks.  My friends Elz and Peter and I drove up there yesterday, since Elz will be leaving Cedar City to go back to Oregon in a few days, and Peter is a new arrival.  Neither of them had been up to Cedar Breaks.  It was chilly and windy, but the views were fabulous.  Here are some photos.
