It's like a little mini version of Bryce National Park. Love hiking to alpine pond, or just doing their little paved trail between viewpoints. For the most spectacular view, come during sunset.

A visit anytime of the year is beautiful, whether there is snow blanketing the trees and floor, Aspen trees turning fall colors, or beautiful green in spring or summer. Nearly anywhere east of Cedar City is higher elevation so if you’re out of shape or require oxygen keep this in mind. Wildlife can be seen everywhere and the occasional Elk and rare bear. Winter sports, summer camping and walking anytime is available, and when the highway is open to Cedar Breaks, definitely go there beauty is everywhere and you will not be disappointed. On top is Navajo Lake, Duck Creek, Mamoth caves and many more sites, and look hard for signs to Cascade Falls when weather permits, it’s a short walk that will blow your mind with beauty, wildlife, and colors.
