Cedar Breaks Hiking & Wildflowers

Kent and I headed to the high country of Cedar Breaks National Monument today. It is peak season for the Wildflower Festival, with quite a variety in bloom. We hiked a few of the trails taking in the views of the colorful amphitheater. Located atop the Markagunt Plateau there was still snow visible in places. Cedar Breaks just opened two weeks ago due to the heavy winter snowfall. It was a fun day enjoying the cool 60 degree temperatures!
