Cedar Breaks National Monument

Cedar Breaks National Monument is a breathtaking natural amphitheater carved by millions of years of erosion. Established as a national monument in 1933, its stunning red rock formations, hoodoos, and high-altitude forests make it a unique and fragile landscape. Long before it was protected, Indigenous peoples, including the Southern Paiute, lived in and traveled through the region, relying on its natural resources for survival. Later, early settlers and explorers were drawn to its dramatic scenery and rich biodiversity. Today, Cedar Breaks remains a sanctuary for wildlife, a hub for scientific research, and a place of wonder for all who visit.
