Cedar Breaks National Monument is a natural amphitheater, three miles in diameter and over 2,000 feet deep with a rim elevation of over 10,000 feet above sea level. Tucked away in the mountains above Cedar City, the U.S. National Monument boasts a variety of interesting things to see and do from high elevation camping and excellent hiking trails to groves of ancient trees and out-of-this-world views along the Circle of Painted Cliffs. Cedar Breaks’ majestic amphitheater is situated on the western edge of the Markagunt Plateau and provides spectacular photographic opportunities, while a modern campground located on the edge of an alpine meadow in the dark-sky park is the best place for astral viewing and stargazing.
