Valley of Fire & Cedar Breaks - 2020
Day 2 - October 18
Cedar Breaks &
Dixie National Forest
We stayed in Cedar City. Our day will include visits to Cedar Breaks and the Dixie National Forest. We travelled north to Parowan, then up into the mountains. This is outside Parowan
We are a tad late for the fall color season.
But there is some color left
Along Highway 143 just north of Parowan
The red rock emerges again. Plenty more to come
Brian Head Ski Resort
Deciduous & coniferous co-existing
Between Brian Head & Cedar Breaks, at an altitude of about 11,000
The northern entrance to Cedar Breaks National Monument
Our first view of Cedar Breaks
Hoodoos galore
We drove east on Highway 143. Panguitch Lake
The road around the lake
Back west on Highway 143 toward Cedar Breaks, we ran into a grove of some late Fall color
Back to Cedar Breaks, and Point Supreme
Ramparts Trail begins at the Visitors Center and runs to the south along the rim to Spectra Point and Ramparts Overlook.
We only took a short part of it. The trail is dry, dusty and slippery. And it was VERY windy.

A couple of weeks prior, this hillside was awash in yellow
